COURSE DESCRIPTION

This is the second semester of a one year course in number theory. We will spend the first 5 lectures completing the proofs of class field theory and then proceed to a mostly self-contained treatment of modular forms (students only interested in the modular forms part of the course are welcome to skip the lectures on class field theory). See the syllabus for more details.

Prerequisite: 18.785 (Number Theory I).
