*************************************************************
This graduate course provides an introduction to algebraic number theory, that is, 
the study of finite extensions of the rational numbers and their rings of integers. 
In particular, we will further develop the theory of fields and rings of integers, 
including topics from ideal theory, units in algebraic number fields, 
ramification, valuation theory, local-to-global principles, function fields, 
and local class field theory. Applications will include explaining quadratic reciprocity 
and understanding quadratic forms over Q.


The final grade of this course will be based on one final 
exam (50%), one midterm (30%) as well as homework (20%). 
The problems on the final exam will come from the suggested 
homework problems as well as examples in the lectures.
