Algebraic number theory is one of the foundations of modern number theory. An algebraic number field is a finite algebraic extension of the field of rational numbers, and algebraic number theory studies the arithmetic of algebraic number fields: the ring of integers in the number field, the ideas and units in the ring of integers, the extent to which unique factorization holds, etc. As well as being interesting objects in their own right, number fields can be used to prove results about the ordinary integers; a very advanced application is the proof of Fermat's last theorem.

The Changing Health Systems module will offer an overview of the patterns of health system financing and delivery around the world as the international community moves towards the global goal of Universal Health Coverage. The module will introduce you to methods of financing and purchasing of services, and also to some of the evidence around delivery mechanisms in public, non-profit and private health services while evaluating these in terms of outcomes such as improved health, efficiency and equity. Recognising health as one of humanity’s most complex knowledge systems, you will discuss the political, economic, regulatory and social context that shapes attempts to change health systems.

Subjects covered:
•    Health systems frameworks and systems thinking as applied to health
•    How health policy change: drivers, actors and processes
•    How health systems are financed
•    Priority setting and strategic purchasing
•    Health and care integration
•    Health system regulatory frameworks
•    Primary health care
•    Public-private interactions in health systems delivery
•    Innovative financing – globally and nationally
