| Textbook: | Algebraic Number Theory by J. Neukirch |
| |
If you do not wish to buy it, the book is available online through the UCSD library. Please note that you have to be on campus or VPN in order to get access to the online version. |
| Prerequisites: |
I will assume familiarity with Galois theory at the level of the 200 series and with commutative algebra at the level of Atiyah-Macdonald. |
| Grading: |
100% homework. Problem sets will be assigned more or less weekly and will be due Friday in gradescope; please do them! It is effectively impossible to learn this subject passively. You are encouraged to work together, discuss the problems, etc; but the actual solution write-ups must be your own. |
