Introductory Algebraic Number Theory

by Saban Alaca, Kenneth S. Williams

Suitable for senior undergraduates and beginning graduate students in mathematics, this book is an introduction to algebraic number theory at an elementary level. Prerequisites are kept to a minimum, and numerous examples illustrating the material occur throughout the text. References to suggested readings and to the biographies of mathematicians who have contributed to the development of algebraic number theory are provided at the end of each chapter. Other features include over 320 exercises, an extensive index, and helpful location guides to theorems in the text.

Not bad for an introductory text.

There were a few simple ideas which could have been introduced earlier to make the flow of the book simpler. They also chose to break a particular problem into two cases and then treated each case separately but in parallel through the bulk of the text. This was a bit annoying over time and could have been handled better.
