Eminent mathematician Hermann Weyl explores fundamental concepts in arithmetic. The book begins with the definitions and properties of algebraic fields, which are relied upon throughout. Then follows the theory of divisibility, an introduction to p-adic numbers and their uses, and an extensive examination of algebraic number fields. First published in 1940, this work is a masterpiece of mathematical exposition. 30 photos.
