The techniques of elementary arithmetic, ring theory and linear algebra are shown working together to prove important theorems, such as the unique factorization of ideals and the finiteness of the ideal class group.  The book concludes with two topics particular to quadratic fields: continued fractions and quadratic forms.  The treatment of quadratic forms is somewhat more advanced  than usual, with an emphasis on their connection with ideal classes and a discussion of Bhargava cubes. The numerous exercises in the text offer the reader hands-on computational experience with elements and ideals in quadratic number fields.  The reader is also asked to fill in the details of proofs and develop extra topics, like the theory of orders.  Prerequisites include elementary number theory and a basic familiarity with ring theory. 410 0$aUniversitext,$x0172-5939 606 $aNumber theory 606 $aAlgebra 606 $aNumber Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M25001 606 $aAlgebra$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M11000 615 0$aNumber theory. 615 0$aAlgebra. 615 14$aNumber Theory. 615 24$aAlgebra. 676 $a512.74 700 $aTrifkovi?$b Mak$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0521448 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910438035103321 996 $aAlgebraic theory of quadratic numbers$9836936 997 $aUNINA
