Analytic number theory exists and involves calculus, but it's not what the linked post is about. The article talks about Hensel's lemma, which is a purely algebraic statement with a purely algebraic proof, which, however, is inspired by techniques from calculus. This is typically still categorized as algebraic number theory. | ||

Get a load of number theorists in a room and there will always be a fight between the analytic and algebraic. | ||
