  PlanetMath: algebraic number theory
Algebraic number theory is the study of algebraic numbers, their properties and their applications.
As an introduction, the reader should be comfortable with the basic theory of rational and irrational numbers, and its complementary entry, the basic theory of algebraic and transcendental numbers.
The main object of study in algebraic number theory is the number field.

 abigailk.com Mathematics lists
The purpose of this list is not similar to that of the Mathematics Subject Classification formulated by the American Mathematical Society.
This list has some items that would not fit in such a classification, such as list of exponential topics and list of factorial and binomial topics, which may surprise the reader with the diversity of their coverage.
One of the central concepts in number theory is that of the prime number, and there are many questions about primes that appear simple but whose resolution continues to elude mathematicians.

 Graduate Study in Algebra
Algebra is one of the oldest branches of mathematics, and the study of algebra in the Department of Mathematics has traditionally been rich and strong.
The research strengths of the faculty are in the theory of rings (commutative and noncommutative), the theory of groups, algebraic number theory, the representation theory of groups and algebras, and algebraic geometry.
The goal of the course is the fundamental theorem of Galois theory and the solutions to the three pearls of antiquity: the quadrature of the circle, the trisection of an angle, and the duplication of the cube.

 Algebraic number theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Algebraic number theory is a branch of number theory in which the concept of a number is expanded to the algebraic numbers which are roots of polynomials with rational coefficients.
An algebraic number field is any finite (and therefore algebraic) field extension of the rational numbers.
This is called localization and it leads to the construction of the p-adic numbers; this field of study is called local analysis and it arises from algebraic number theory.

 11: Number theory
Number theory is one of the oldest branches of pure mathematics, and one of the largest.
Questions in algebraic number theory often require tools of Galois theory; that material is mostly a part of 12: Field theory (particularly the subject of field extensions).
The algebraic structure of the ring of integers is similar to that of other commutative rings such as rings of polynomials.

 Transcendental number Summary
In mathematics, a transcendental number is any complex number that is not algebraic, that is, not the solution of a non-zero polynomial equation with integer (or, equivalently, rational) coefficients.
However, an algebraic function of several variables may yield an algebraic number when applied to transcendental numbers if these numbers are not algebraically independent.
Because algebraic numbers form an algebraically closed field, this would imply that the roots of the polynomial, a and b, must be algebraic.

Naive set theory is the original set theory developed by mathematicians at the end of the 19th century.
Axiomatic set theory is a rigorous axiomatic branch of mathematics developed in response to the discovery of serious flaws (such as Russell's paradox) in naïve set theory.

 Topics in Algebraic Number Theory
Algebraic number theory has a long and distinguished history and remains one of the most significant areas of research in mathematics.
The analysis of problems in number theory, even those of a seemingly concrete and explicit nature, may well however involve the interplay of results and techniques from may different branches of pure mathematics.
The topics to be discussed have been chosen both because they have been of pivotal significance to recent developments and also because they illustrate well the wide variety of techniques and the nature of the problems which arise in much of the fundamental research which is being conducted today.

 Arithmetic, Numeration, Number Theory - Numericana
Recall that a number is divisible by 3 or 9 iff (if and only if) the sum of its digits is. It is divisible by 11 iff the difference between the sum of its odd digits (units, hundreds, etc.) and the sum of its even digits (tens, thousands, etc.) is so divisible.
Since the number 9N divides the number which consists of P nines followed by a certain number J of zeroes, N divides the number consisting of P ones followed by J zeroes, and also the integer composed of P sevens followed by J zeroes.
The next two numbers in the list, the 13th and 14th Mersenne primes, are much larger (corresponding to n=521 and n=607) and were both discovered the same day (January 30, 1952, around 22:00 PST and shortly before midnight) by Raphael Mitchel Robinson (1911-1995), at the dawn of the computer age.

Differential geometry is the study of the geometry of curves and surfaces (and higher-dimensional analogues), using techniques of multivariable calculus and linear algebra.
The list of topics includes: very ancient as well as indigenous mathematics; the contributions of ancient Greece including Euclid and Archimedes; and the birth of calculus.
A more difficult argument shows that any theory of infinite sets has the same property: the collection of all sets described by that theory cannot be described as a set within that theory, and (more subtly) the collection of different sizes of sets cannot be a set in that set theory.
