Comments

Taken from Cohen's table on pages 515-519. The table is indexed by the discriminant d = d(K) = A003658(n) of the real quadratic fields K. The fundamental unit is given as a pair of coordinates (a,b) = (A014000(n), A014046(n)) expressed in terms of the canonical integral basis (1,w) where w = (1+sqrt(d))/2 if d == 1 (mod 4), w = sqrt(d)/2 if d == 0 (mod 4).

The norm of this fundamental unit is A014077(n). The class number h(K) is A003652(n). - N. J. A. Sloane, Jun 14 2013
