Under construction. This area is a framework being built: most courses have no teaching material yet, and things may change or break. Private self-study. Not an official programme and not recognised by any ministry or school. No qualification, mark or document is issued, and “years 1 to 3” and “advanced” are names of study paths only.

Concept-level units

Units follow the syllabus order, as a recommended sequence rather than a gate.

  1. Divisibility
  2. Congruences
  3. Arithmetic functions
  4. Quadratic residues
  5. Diophantine equations
  6. Prime-number questions

Assessable outcome

Construct proofs about integers and distinguish algorithmic from structural results.

Assessment design

  • topic exercises
  • mixed problem sets
  • unseen proof or derivation problems
  • cumulative examination

cumulative; uses spaced retrieval
