Synopsis

This is a corrected reprint of Lang's well-known textbook. It covers all of the basic material of classical algebraic and analytic number theory, giving the student the background necessary for the study of modern algebraic number theory. Part I introduces some of the basic ideas of the theory: number fields, ideal classes, ideles and adeles, and zeta functions. Part II covers class field theory and Part III is devoted to analytic methods, including an exposition of Tate's thesis, the Brauer-Siegel theorem, and Weil's explicit formulas.

Review

Second Edition

S. Lang

Algebraic Number Theory

"This book is the second edition of Lang's famous and indispensable book on algebraic number theory. The major change from the previous edition is that the last chapter on explicit formulas has been completely rewritten. In addition, a few new sections have been added to the other chapters . . . Lang's books are always of great value for the graduate student and the research mathematician. This updated edition of Algebraic number theory is no exception."―MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS
