UPDATE (FALL 2017): I've discovered lots of (minor) deficiencies in these notes in teaching a similar number theory course again. See my 2017 An (algebraic) introduction to Number Theory notes for a different set of course notes with more well written (in my opinion) arguments for many of the things in here.

(There was a lot of overlap in content, but with a rather different presentation. Still, this course does things that the newer course did not, but those are stand-alone notes while these were always just meant to be a supplement to Stillwell's Elements of Number Theory.)

You can still inform me of errors in these notes, though I am not making as much of an effort to maintain these notes as I am with my newer notes.
