History
Number theory is over 2000 years old, however algebric number theory has emerged since the 19th century.


 * Ernst Kummer, Kronecker, and Dedekind are 3 notable algebraic number theorists..
 * Kronecker - Theory of equations, Kronecker delta, Kronecker limit formula.
 * Ernst Kummer - proved Fermat's last theorem for a class of prime exponents.
 * Dedekind - Not sure at this point which of his contributions belong in this article.
