A central concern of number theory is the study of local-to-global principles, which describe the behavior of a global field K in terms of the behavior of vario

Early in the development of number theory, it was noticed that the ring of integers has many properties in common with the ring of polynomials over a finite fie

The amount of mathematics invented for number-theoretic reasons is impressive. It includes much of complex analysis, the re-foundation of algebraic geometry on
