Synopsis

This book provides a brisk, thorough treatment of the foundations of algebraic number theory on which it builds to introduce more advanced topics. Throughout, the authors emphasize the systematic development of techniques for the explicit calculation of the basic invariants such as rings of integers, class groups, and units, combining at each stage theory with explicit computations.

About this title

Book Description:

The systematic development of techniques for the explicit calculation of the basic invariants such as rings of integers, class groups, and units, is emphasized throughout this introduction to the foundations of algebraic number theory.

Review:

"...an excellent contribution to the long list of books presenting the main results of algebraic number theory. It is useful for anyone who is learning or teaching this branch of mathematics." J. Browkin, Mathematical Reviews
