Explain what is meant by an integral basis for a number field. Splitting into the cases d1(mod4)d \equiv 1(\bmod 4) and d2,3(mod4)d \equiv 2,3(\bmod 4), find an integral basis for K=Q(d)K=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d}) where d0,1d \neq 0,1 is a square-free integer. Justify your answer.

Find the fundamental unit in Q(13)\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{13}). Determine all integer solutions to the equation x2+xy3y2=17x^{2}+x y-3 y^{2}=17.
