A Conversational Introduction To Algebraic Number Theory
Paul Pollack
Gauss famously referred to mathematics as the "queen of the sciences" and to number theory as the "queen of mathematics". This book is an introduction to algebraic number theory, meaning the study of arithmetic in finite extensions of the rational number field $\mathbb{Q}$. It lays out basic results, including unique factorization of ideals, finiteness of the class number, and Dirichlet's unit theorem.
