Nummertheorie
Nummertheorie, or number theory, is a branch of mathematics that studies the properties and relationships of numbers, especially whole numbers. It explores patterns and structures within integers, such as prime numbers, divisibility, and factors. Mathematicians use number theory to solve problems related to encryption, coding, and algorithms, because understanding how numbers behave under different operations can reveal hidden patterns and principles fundamental to mathematics and digital security. It combines curiosity with logical reasoning to uncover the fundamental rules governing numbers.
