"Combinatorics and Number Theory": Combinatorics and Number Theory are old mathematical subjects which are home to many simple to state open problems. This course will be a brief introduction to classical problems in combinatorics and number theory which quickly lead to the theory of modular forms. We shall discuss classical problems involving right triangles, partitions of integers, and the distribution of primes. The selected problems will highlight some of the deeper phenomenon which underneath seemingly innocent questions.
