Quadratic forms with integral coefficients form a central part of number theory - for example, the study of primes represented by the form x^2+ny^2 gradually led to the development of many key tools in algebraic number theory, ranging from the study of number fields to the theory of class fields and modular forms. The goal of the course is to explain the basics of the arithmetic theory of quadratic forms, in particular with focus on the question of representability of integers including applications of class field theory. The course may not be taught every academic year.
