About this title

Review

This is an introductory text in algebraic number theory that has good coverage ... . This second edition is completely reorganized and rewritten from the first edition. ... Very Good Features: (1) The applications are not limited to Diophantine equations, as in many books, but cover a wide range, including factorization into primes, primality testing, and the higher reciprocity laws. (2) The book has a large number of mini-biographies of the number theorists whose work is being discussed. ...

This book is in the MAA's basic library list. The Basic Library List Committee considers this book essential for undergraduate mathematics libraries.

Praise for the First Edition
This is a remarkable book that will be a valuable reference for many people, including me. The book shows great care in preparation, and the ample details and motivation will be appreciated by lots of students. The solid punches at the end of each chapter will be appreciated by everybody. It deserves success with many adoptions as a text.
―Irving Kaplansky, Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, Berkeley, California, USA

An extremely well-written and clear presentation of algebraic number theory suitable for beginning graduate students. The many exercises, applications, and references are a very valuable feature of the book.
―Kenneth Williams, Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

This is a unique book that will be influential.
