The integers Z satisfy many interesting properties: we have the rational root theorem, all integers admit a unique factorization, and Z is integrally closed in Q, its field of fractions. However, as we consider larger fields that contain Q, not all of these facts remain true. In this talk, we'll explore number fields, which are finite extensions of Q, and how these number-theoretic properties generalize.
