Number Theory for Beginners by M Rosenlicht

Number Theory for Beginners by M Rosenlicht

In the summer quarter of 1949, I taught a ten-weeks introductory course on number theory at the University of Chicago; it was announced in the catalogue as Alge- bra 251. What made it possible, in the form which I had planned for it, was the fact that Max Rosenlicht, now of the University of California at Berkeley, was then my assistant. According to his recollection, this was the first and last time, in the his tory of the Chicago department of mathematics, that an assistant worked for his salary. The course consisted of two lectures a week, supplemented by a weekly laboratory period where students were given exercises which they were. asked to solve under Max's supervision and (when necessary) with his help. This idea was borrowed from the Praktikum of German universi- ties. Being alien to the local tradition, it did not work out as well as I had hoped, and student attendance at the problem sessions so on became desultory. v vi Weekly notes were written up by Max Rosenlicht and issued week by week to the students. Rather than a literal reproduction of the course, they should be regarded as its skeleton; they were supplemented by references to stan- dard text-books on algebra. Max also contributed by far the larger part of the exercises. None of, this was meant for publication.

Andre Weil's Biography Andre Weil was born in Paris on May 6, 1906. He held professorial positions in India, France, the United States, and Brazil until being assigned to the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, in 1958, where he remained until his death on August 6, 1998, after studying mathematics at the Ecole Normale Supérieure and getting a doctorate from the University of Paris in 1928. André Weil's work is credited with laying the groundwork for abstract algebraic geometry and current abelian variety theory. His research focused on building linkages between number theory and algebraic geometry, as well as developing new methods in analytic number theory. In 1934, Weil was one of the founding members of the group that published under the moniker N. Elements de mathematique, a multi-volume book by Bourbaki, is a highly influential multi-volume treatise on mathematics.
