Through a set of related yet distinct texts, the author offers a thorough presentation of the classical theory of algebraic numbers and algebraic functions: Ideal- and valuation-theoretic aspects, L functions and class field theory, together with a presentation of algebraic foundations which are usually undersized in standard algebra courses.

Quadratic Irrationals: An Introduction to Classical Number Theory gives a unified treatment of the classical theory of quadratic irrationals. Presenting the material in a modern and elementary algebraic setting, the author focuses on equivalence, continued fractions, quadratic characters, quadratic orders, binary quadratic forms, and class groups. The book highlights the connection between Gauss's theory of binary forms and the arithmetic of q...
