Review # 1 was written on 2013-12-15 00:00:00 Steve Thompson This book is not as important as the point that this book represents. I was taking a number theory class from a professor who is one of the leading experts on Iwasawa Theory. This book is an introduction to Iwasawa Theory. So, I was google searching for stuff relating to the course and I found this book. All of the other books relating to the course had been checked out of the math library. So I checked out this book instead. It turned out to be really helpful, more helpful than the other books on number theory that people had checked out. This really illustrates the point that it helps to try to figured out where your teacher is coming from. I only used the first couple of sections of this book. The topics covered where algebraic number-theoretic properties of cyclotomic fields, and L-Series associated with those fields.
