Product Description
Requiring no more than a basic knowledge of abstract algebra, this text presents the mathematics of number fields in a straightforward, "down-to-earth" manner. It thus avoids local methods, for example, and presents proofs in a way that highlights the important parts of the arguments. Readers are assumed to be able to fill in the details, which in many places are left as exercises.

 An Excellent Introduction to Algebraic Number Theory October 31, 2005
Alexander Shaumyan (New Haven, CT USA)
7 out of 10 found this review helpful
I have enjoyed reading this book. It's very down to earth and it presents the proofs as a series of exercises for the reader. It's a great way of being introduced to the finite extensions of rational numbers. The author shows how these fields can be very useful in solving the problems in elementary number theory, like prime factorizations of integers. Very engaging and enjoyable. A great introduction to the problems in algebraic number theory.
--Alexander Shaumyan, poet and mathematician

I think the book is pretty well written for the ones with only exposure to basic abstract algebra.
