I think it's OK -- the things he's computing do fall within what mathematicians call "algebraic number theory". (I wrote a book on Algebraic Number Theory: https://wstein.org/books/ant/)
"Origin of the name -
In local class field theory, the group of units of the local field plays a central role. In global class field theory, the idele class group takes this role (see also the definition of the idele class group). The term "idele" is a variation of the term ideal. Both terms have a relation, see the theorem about the relation between the ideal class group and the idele class group. The term "idele" (French: idèle) is an invention of the French mathematician Claude Chevalley (1909–1984) and stands for "ideal element" (abbreviated: id.el.). The term "adele" (adèle) stands for additive idele."
