Description for Algebraic Theory of Numbers. (AM-1), Volume 1
Paperback. Explores fundamental concepts in arithmetic. This book begins with the definitions and properties of algebraic fields. It then discusses the theory of divisibility from an axiomatic viewpoint, rather than by the use of ideals. It also gives an introduction to p-adic numbers and their uses, which are important in modern number theory. Series: Annals of Mathematics Studies. Num Pages: 240 pages, 30 halftones.

In this, one of the first books to appear in English on the theory of numbers, the eminent mathematician Hermann Weyl explores fundamental concepts in arithmetic. The book begins with the definitions and properties of algebraic fields, which are relied upon throughout. The theory of divisibility is then discussed, from an axiomatic viewpoint, rather than by the use of ideals. There follows an introduction to p-adic numbers and their uses, which are so important in modern number theory, and the book culminates with an extensive examination of algebraic number fields.
