Extract

In a previous paper (2) it was shown how the work of finding the units of a totally real cubic field could be facilitated by consideration of the sum of squares of differences between a number and its conjugates. In the present paper it is shown that the same ideas can be helpful in the calculation of class-numbers, and a list of the fields with class-number greater than unity and discriminant less than 20,000 is given.
