The Role of Class Field Theory in Algebraic Number Theory
Class field theory is the key part and the heart of algebraic number theory. It has thousands of applications in number theory. Via the theory of zeta integrals initiated by Kenkichi Iwasawa and by John Tate in Tate's thesis it is related to the study of the zeta function of global fields.

“This [new] period of parenting is an intense one. Never will we know such responsibility, such productive and hard work, such potential for isolation in the caretaking role and such intimacy and close involvement in the growth and development of another human being.”
—Joan Sheingold Ditzion and Dennie Palmer (20th century)

Books from Boots’ and country lanes,
Free speech, free passes, class distinction,
Democracy and proper drains.”

“... no young colored person in the United States today can truthfully offer as an excuse for lack of ambition or aspiration that members of his race have accomplished so little, he is discouraged from attempting anything himself. For there is scarcely a field of human endeavor which colored people have been allowed to enter in which there is not at least one worthy representative.”
—Mary Church Terrell (1863–1954)
“Frankly, these days, without a theory to go with it, I can’t see a painting.”
—Tom Wolfe (b. 1931)
“I have no scheme about it,—no designs on men at all; and, if I had, my mode would be to tempt them with the fruit, and not with the manure. To what end do I lead a simple life at all, pray? That I may teach others to simplify their lives?—and so all our lives be simplified merely, like an algebraic formula? Or not, rather, that I may make use of the ground I have cleared, to live more worthily and profitably?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I believe if we introduced the Lord’s Prayer here, senators would propose a large number of amendments to it.”
