A famous theorem by¹ Fermat is that four squares cannot form an arithmetic progression. (Three definitely can: $1^2 = 1$, $5^2 = 25$ and $7^2 = 49$ already give an example). It already has been dis...

Modular arithmetic utilizes this "wrapping around" idea, after you reached the greatest element comes the smallest. So modular arithmetic is a sort of a mindset. A binary operation is an operation which combines two elements, for example addition is a binary operation since it combines two elements.

  1. does the proof above make sure that $a_n$ is not arithmetic? a sequence cannot be arithmetic and geometric at the same time, right? 2) what about more complex expressions? like $b_n=ln (n)$? how do I quickly see if it is arithmetic or geometric sequence?

Definitely "The arithmetic of Dynamical Systems" by Silverman is THE textbook you should read first. In my opinion, in order to get a grasp of what arithmetic dynamics is about, you firstly need solid bases of algebraic geometry and number theory. Complex dynamics is also going to be pretty helpful if you want to enter the more dynamical aspects of the theory.
