Algebraic Number Theory (Springer Undergraduate Mathematics Series)

This comprehensive textbook provides an approachable and thorough introduction to algebraic number theory, covering unique factorization in integers through modern-day number field sieve.

It offers a perfect blend of numerical and symbolic calculations, making it ideal for undergraduate mathematics students.

With examples taken from quadratic fields, this book is designed to help readers develop facility with numerical and symbolic calculation while gaining comfort with abstraction.

The author leads the reader through central results in algebraic number theory, culminating with the number field sieve, which has never been considered in a textbook at this level before.

This book is highly recommended for upper-division undergraduates, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking to gain a deep understanding of algebraic number theory.
