Abstract:
It is the primary purpose of the paper to determine all real quadratic fields $Q(\sqrt d )$ of class number $h(d) = 2$ when $k \leq 24$ (with one possible exception). Here, k is the period length of the continued fraction expansion of either $\omega = \sqrt d$, in the case $d \equiv 2$ or 3 $\pmod 4$, or of $\omega = (1 + \sqrt d )/2$, in the case $d \equiv 1 \pmod 4$.References
