Learning Number Theory: Congruence Arithmetic

[@RR-xb1nh]

Please complete whole number theory required for RMO and Competitive Programming ICPC 🙏🙏

I like the idea of tying number theory to programming more! I'll try to include more coding, and I'll check on some references for including more programming problems. One way I enjoyed learning math was solving project euler problems. Many of them are number theory related... if you have any competitive programming questions, join or discord and ask personally! your message gave me the idea of doing some competitive programming streams! Thank you!

@@academyofuselessideas Thanks sir can you just specify or list down multiple math and physics (yes physics related problem too was asked in ACM icpc finals) Topics like discrete math, number theory, algebra (even in algebra real analysis topics like Lagrange interpolation are used ) , advanced algorithms and simply everything which one needs to study to get on top on CF or win ACM ICPC ? It will be really very helpful if you provide these topics and sub topics concept lists in detail

Unfortunately, I am not an expert on this. I know what is required to solve some problems, but not really enough to wirte a comprehensive list... however, what we could do is to recommend a book... I wonder if people would be interested in doing a series of streams on competitive programming based on one of those books ("competitive programming" by Steven Halim, for example)

I just checked "competitive programming" by Hamlim and it seems pretty interesting... they have a few chapters with the math needed... maybe we can do some streams on that!
