Number Theory

Number theory is the study of the properties of the integers. Its topics include divisibility and primality, irrational numbers, the representation of numbers, Diophantine equations, and much more.

A quick and helpful survey of basic number theory ideas that would be useful for a number of research projects can be dowloaded from A Guide to Arithmetic.

Many interesting number theory discussions can be found at Cut-the-Knot.

An eclectic sample of number theory problems is presented at Number Theory.

Everything you always wanted to know about prime numbers can be found at The Prime Number Site.
