Course objectives
This semester will be devoted to the book Algebraic Number Theory and Fermat's Last Theorem, written by I.Stewart a D. Tall. The aim of the course is to explain the rudiments of algebric number theory: on one hand, understandably for begginers, on the other hand, probably using an unknown book for advanced students.
