β¦ Synopsis
"The present book has as its aim to resolve a discrepancy in the textbook literature and ... to provide a comprehensive introduction to algebraic number theory which is largely based on the modern, unifying conception of (one-dimensional) arithmetic algebraic geometry. ... Despite this exacting program, the book remains an introduction to algebraic number theory for the beginner... The author discusses the classical concepts from the viewpoint of Arakelov theory.... The treatment of class field theory is ... particularly rich in illustrating complements, hints for further study, and concrete examples.... The concluding chapter VII on zeta-functions and L-series is another outstanding advantage of the present textbook.... The book is, without any doubt, the most up-to-date, systematic, and theoretically comprehensive textbook on algebraic number field theory available." W. Kleinert in Z.blatt f. Math., 1992 "The author's enthusiasm for this topic is rarely as evident for the reader as in this book. - A good book, a beautiful book." F. Lorenz in Jber. DMV 1995 "The present work is written in a very careful and masterly fashion. It does not show the pains that it must have caused even an expert like Neukirch. It undoubtedly is liable to become a classic; the more so as recent developments have been taken into account which will not be outdated quickly. Not only must it be missing from the library of no number theorist, but it can simply be recommended to every mathematician who wants to get an idea of modern arithmetic." J. Schoissengeier in Montatshefte Mathematik 1994

Awesome text. For the more well-versed reader in Algebraic Number Theory. Great resource for a variety of topics.
It is an unfortunate feature of number theory that few of the books explain clearly the motivation for much of the technology introduced. Similarly, half of this book is spent proving properties of Dedekind domains before we see much motivation. That said, there are quite a few examples, as well
This is a second edition of Lang's well-known textbook. It covers all of the basic material of classical algebraic number theory, giving the student the background necessary for the study of further topics in algebraic number theory, such as cyclotomic fields, or modular forms. Part I introduces som
Bringing the material up to date to reflect modern applications, Algebraic Number Theory, Second Edition has been completely rewritten and reorganized to incorporate a new style, methodology, and presentation. This edition focuses on integral domains, ideals, and unique factorization in the first ch
