Number theory, known to Gauss as “arithmetic,” studies the properties of the integers: ... − 3,−2,−1,0,1,2,3.... Although the integers are familiar, and their properties might therefore seem simple, it is instead a very deep subject. For example, here are some problems in number theory that remain unsolved.
