Local Fields
Corps Locaux by Jean-Pierre Serre, originally published in 1962 and translated into English as Local Fields by Marvin Jay Greenberg in 1979, is a seminal graduate-level algebraic number theory text covering local fields, ramification, group cohomology, and local class field theory. The book's end goal is to present local class field theory from the cohomological point of view. This theory concerns extensions of "local" (i.e., complete for a discrete valuation) fields with finite residue field.

gollark: Which was more practical when it *did actually cost less*.
gollark: Given the magnitude of the increases, hold on while I pull up a graph, I think it may *not* be worth it.
gollark: Not really. It was just cheaper. We still have subsidies for it here.
gollark: But the question is: is it actually worth it/do we get better education out of it per $?
