Prime Numbers: Deterministic Approaches

Description

This lecture covers the concept of prime numbers, defining them as positive integers with exactly 2 distinct divisors. The instructor explains deterministic approaches to determine if a number is prime, such as testing divisors up to the square root of the number. The lecture also introduces algorithms for prime number testing, including the AKS algorithm and modular arithmetic. Theoretical aspects, complexity analysis, and practical examples are discussed to provide a comprehensive understanding of prime number identification.
