Topics in Algebra and Number Theory

In this institute, teachers make explicit connections between the higher-level mathematics they may have encountered in graduate or undergraduate courses in linear or abstract algebra and the mathematics taught in middle and high school. Topics include investigating the patterns in the periods of repeating decimals, divisibility rules, such algebraic structures as groups and fields, modular arithmetic, and primes and composites in the integers and polynomials.
