The ideal class group, Dirichlet's unit theorem, the regulator, Minkowski's bound, and the analytic class number formula used to verify computed values.
Ramification indices and residue degrees, the fundamental identity, Dedekind's theorem relating prime decomposition to polynomial factorisation modulo p, and computing valuations.
The field discriminant, integral bases, the index of an equation order, and why computing the maximal order reduces to factoring the polynomial discriminant.
