| May 16, 2010 at 16:01 | comment | added | Franz Lemmermeyer | The appearance of part 2 was linked to my being in a position to do so. A teaching load of 25 hours per week and a two hours drive to the next university library slow things down somewhat -) I also realized that explaining Kummer and Hecke requires a considerable background in analytic techniques, so my current plans are writing a book on the beginnings of class field theory (Euler, Dirichlet, Kronecker, Kummer) up to the first two inequalities before continuing with part 2. | |

| May 15, 2010 at 19:39 | comment | added | Minhyong Kim | Since he's apparently too modest to say so himself, I'd like to point out that Dr. Lemmermeyer himself has a very good book on reciprocity laws, which has been a pleasure to dip in now and then. For myself, I've found class field theory persistently difficult and technical over the years. Being provided a mixture of clear mathematics and a broad historical perspective by a knowledgeable author goes a long way towards easing the pain. | |
