Number theorists have studied idea l class groups of number fields for hundreds of years\, since knowledge o f their properties helps to solve Diophantine equations (among other thin gs).
I will introduce ideal class groups\, show how they can be u sed to solve Diophantine equations\, and describe some recent statistical results about their structure.
