Announcements:

• The recommended textbook by Alaca and Williams is a really nice book that contains a whole lot of worked out examples, as well some background algebra. It however does not cover all the material we'll be covering, nor does it use the same order. In terms of how we progress through the semester, Neukirch's Algebraic number theory is probably the closest to what we will do.
