		Number theory was a favorite study among the Ancient Greeks, who were aware of the Diophantine equation concept in numerous special cases.
		It revived in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, in Europe, with François Viète, Bachet de Meziriac, and especially Fermat, whose infinite descent method was the first general idea for dealing with diophantine questions.
		This led to a relation between the zeros of the zeta function and the distribution of primes, eventually leading to a proof of prime number theorem independently by Hadamard and de la Vallée Poussin in 1896.
