A Classical Invitation to Algebraic Numbers and Class Fields Summary

A Classical Invitation to Algebraic Numbers and Class Fields by O. Taussky

From the reviews/Aus den Besprechungen: ...Fur den an der Geschichte der Zahlentheorie interessierten Mathematikhistoriker ist das Buch mindestens in zweierlei Hinsicht lesenswert. Zum einen enthalt der Text eine ganze Reihe von historischen Hinweisen, zum anderen legt der Autor sehr grossen Wert auf eine moglichst allseitige Motivierung seiner Darlegungen und versucht dazu, insbesondere den wichtigen historischen Schritten auf dem Weg zur Klassenkorpertheorie Rechnung zu tragen. Die Anhange von O. Taussky bilden eine wertvolle Erganzung des Buches. ARTINs Vorlesungen von 1932, deren Ubersetzung auf einem Manuskript basiert, das die Autorin 1932 selbst aus ihrer Vorlesungsnachschrift erarbeitete und von H. HASSE durchgesehen sowie mit Hinweisen versehen wurde, durfte fur Mathematiker und Mathematikhistoriker gleichermassen von Interesse sein... NTM- Schriftenreihe fur Geschichte der Naturwissenschaften, Technik und Medizin
