Ideals and fractional ideals, unique factorisation into primes, and the group structure that makes the class group possible.
The class group as the obstruction to unique factorisation, its finiteness, and what a complete computation must produce.
Content and primitive part, Gauss's lemma, and why factoring over the rationals reduces to factoring over the integers.
Direct products, projection homomorphisms, factor congruences as the internal signature of a decomposition, directly indecomposable algebras and the limits of unique factorisation.
