Historical Exploration of Number Theory and its Modern Applications

Abstract

The study of integers, and more especially positive integers, is referred to as number theory in the branch of 
mathematics known as mathematics. Since quite some time ago, its relevance in mathematics has been well-established 
and well recognised. For the simple reason that this is a subject that has a great deal of historical relevance. Unlike the 
majority of other fields, this one allows for the observation of results. From the time of antiquity till the present day, 
humanity have been able to develop new and exciting insights into the nature of numbers in each and every century. 
The great majority of the world's most accomplished mathematicians have, throughout the course of their careers, made 
substantial contributions to the field of number theory. Because of the basic qualities that it has, number theory has 
captured the interest of the most prominent scientists.
