====Number theory==== The branch of mathematics deals with the properties and relationships of numbers, especially positive integers. [[Number theory]] is a branch of pure mathematics devoted primarily to the study of the integers and integer-valued functions. German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss said, "Mathematics is the queen of the sciences—and number theory is the queen of mathematics." Number theory also studies the natural, or whole, numbers. One of the central concepts in number theory is that of the [[prime number]], and there are many questions about primes that appear simple but whose resolution continues to elude mathematicians. * [[List of algebraic number theory topics]] * [[List of number theory topics]] * [[List of recreational number theory topics]] * [[Glossary of arithmetic and Diophantine geometry]] * [[List of prime numbers]]—not just a table, but a list of various ''kinds'' of prime numbers (each with an accompanying table) * [[List of zeta functions]]
