Algebraic Number Theory

Catalog description

This is a first course in algebraic number theory at the graduate level. But be careful! A large part of number theory (especially algebraic number theory) is not about numbers, but rather about more abstract concepts which have their origins in problems about numbers. The main object for the course is to learn various concepts and theorems necessary to understand the main theorems of both local and global class field theory.
