    Dear students,

    Welcome to the Algebraic Number Theory (ANT) course! The main reference textbook we will use is Ian Stewart's "Algebraic Number Theory and Fermat Last Theorem". I would encourage you to read/study its Chapter 1.

    This is, of course, not mandatory, specially since I will briefly discuss it, but it will help you settle some basic ideas we will frequently use in the course. It mainly covers a review of finitely generated abelian groups, rings, irreducibility and Galois extensions.

    Here I attach you a free copy of the textbook:
