Abstract

An arbitrary cubic function field can have 0, 1, or 2 for its unit rank. This paper presents the complete classification of unit rank of an arbitrary cubic function field by its discriminant and the polynomial discriminant of its generating polynomial. The notions of Kummer Theory and Cardano's formula are used.
