I'm obviously just using the book as my lecture note now…

Anyway, I think that saying "works very hard to prove it for the case of a triangle" is a really unfair description of the proof (the key idea is the "binary" (actually quaternary) search. Triangle, rectangle, or circle does not matter --- although it certainly is more difficult to do it in the case of a circle.) (Thinking about it, if you do it on a A4-paper-shaped loop γ, then you can do a binary search.)

And it isn't that difficult.

Plus some minor fixes. (There should be a backslash-space after \dots for consistency, but TeX strips trailing spaces anyway, so LaTeX defines backslash-newline to be the same thing as backslash-space.)

Great! :)

I think a long time ago I had the impression the proof was difficult. Seeing it written like this confirms I was wrong. So yeah, I think this is an obvious improvement.

Speaking of which:

  • That chapter has an inconsistency of notation: sometimes a domain (simply connected open set) is denoted by U, sometimes it's denoted by Ω. (Or so it seems, I haven't carefully checked if U or Ω is required to be simply connected yet) Which do you prefer?
  • Normally section title is named "Bonus", but that section title I named it "Optional"… it's inconsistent.

\underbrace{\alpha + \dots + \alpha}_{n\text{ times}} = n\alpha
\pmod \kb \qquad\text{for all } \alpha \in \OO_K. \]
\underbrace{1 + \dots + 1}_{n\text{ times}} = n
\pmod \kb \qquad\text{for } 1 \in \OO_K. \]

Actually this change may backfire... after all (n) is defined to be {n \alpha | \alpha \in \OO_K}. Guess I'll just revert it.


\begin{remark}
Note that $\mathcal A$ is a Dedekind domain if and only if $\mathcal A = \OO_K$ for some field
$K$, as we will prove below. We're just defining this term for historical reasons\dots

Which feels slightly silly, but I don't see much harm either.
Without defining Dedekind domain, the theorems would read

  • 𝒪_K is Noetherian, integrally closed, and "dim Spec 𝒪_K = 1" i.e. prime ideals are maximal.
  • ⟹ prime ideal factorization works in 𝒪_K.

Seems fine.

I think it's supposed to be Omega for simply connected and U if not necessarily simply connected. Any violations of that guideline should be fixed.

  • Normally section title is named "Bonus", but that section title I named it "Optional"… it's inconsistent.

I think it's fine to label this section as "Optional". The convention is right now

  • Bonus for entire chapters
  • Optional for sections or smaller things.
