    10) The basic notions of number theory: divisibility, prime numbers, the fundamental theorem of arithmetics, the cardinality of primes, the gap between adjacent primes, the prime number theorem. The notion of congruence, operations on congruences. Solvability of linear congruence equations.

    11) Euclidean algorithm for computing the greatest common divisor and for solving linear congruence equations. Linear diophantine equations on two variables, simultaneous linear congruences. Euler's totient theorem, Fermat's little theorem.

    12) Arithmetic algorithms: relation between the size of the input and the logartihm of the input data, basic operations, exponentiation modulo m, primality testing. Public key cryptography, the RSA code.

    13)  Cardinality of infinite sets: the notions of equal and less than or equal cardinalities. The notions of sets of countably infinite and continuum cardinalities. The cardinality of the sets N, Z, Q and R.
