Basic Number Theory

Front Cover
Springer New York, 1974 - Mathematics - 325 pages
The first part of this volume is based on a course taught at Princeton University in 1961-62. The author came upon a long-forgotten manuscript, which contained a brief but essentially complete account of the main features of classfield theory, both local and global, the inclusion of which greatly enhanced this volume. The author has tried to draw conclusions from the developments of the last thirty years, whereby locally compact groups, measure and integration have been seen to play an increasingly important role in classical number theory.
