Their arithmetic is in many ways similar to the familiar arithmetic of whole numbers, but an important difference is that in quadratic fields, integers cannot be factored uniquely into primes. Class numbers measure the degree to which unique factorization fails, and it turns out that consequences of deep knowledge about these numbers percolate through virtually every important question in number theory. We\u0026rsquo;ll look at some of the rich history in the study of class numbers and at important questions that are the subject of current research.\r\n\r\n\u003Cdiv\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\r\n\u003C\/div\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cdiv\u003EPlease find more info at\u0026nbsp;\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/pwp.gatech.edu\/wiming\/\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003Ehttps:\/\/pwp.gatech.edu\/wiming\/\u003C\/a\u003E.
