Review
From the book reviews:
“There is extensive mathematical and biographical commentary accompanying the letters, making it possible to follow the discussion without having to be familiar with class field theory and its history. … For anyone interested in the history of number theory in the 20th century, this book is a must-have.” (Fernando Q. Gouvêa, MAA Reviews, July, 2014)
From the Back Cover
This volume presents English translations of the letters exchanged between Emil Artin and Helmut Hasse written from 1921 to 1958. The letters are accompanied by extensive comments explaining the mathematical background and providing other essential context. Most letters deal with class field theory and shed new light on the birth of one of its most profound results: Artin’s reciprocity law.
