This book, the second of three related volumes on number theory, is
the English translation of the original Japanese book. Here, the idea
of class field theory, a highlight in algebraic number theory, is
first described with many concrete examples. A detailed account of
proofs is thoroughly exposited in the final chapter. The authors also
explain the local-global method in number theory, including the use of
ideles and adeles. Basic properties of zeta and \(L\)-functions
are established and used to prove the prime number theorem and the
Dirichlet theorem on prime numbers in arithmetic progressions. With
this book, the reader can enjoy the beauty of numbers and obtain
fundamental knowledge of modern number theory.
The translation of the first volume was published as
