Objective of the Course:
The algebraic number theory brings two important areas of mathematics such as algebra and numbery theory. Our first aim is to introduce fundamental ideas of algebraic numbers and the second is to illustrate how basic notions from the theory of algebraic numbers may be used to solve problems in number theory. The main focus is to extend properties of the integer numbers to more general number structures: algebraic number fields and their rings of algebraic integers. Then give an introduction to Fermat’s last theorem. So students can see how basic ideas are used to solve problems in number theory.
