The proof of transcendence of the number e. 2a. Describe the theory of Pell (Diophantine) equations. 2b. Lagrange's four-squares theorem, the aritmetical proof. 3a. Lattices and their properties, the prof of the theorem on Farey fractions by means of lattices. 3b. The geometric proof of Lagrange's four-squares theorem. 4a. Prove Čebyšev's bounds on the prime counting function pi(x). 4c. Give 5 (five) proofs of the infinitude of prime numbers (so look for one more proof in addition to the LN). 5.
