Abstract: We use the polynomials $m_s(t)=t^2-4s$, $sin-1,1$, in an elementary process giving arbitrary large lists of {it fundamental units} of quadratic fields of discriminants listed in ascending order. More precisely, let $mathbfBgg0$; then as $t$ grows from $1$ to $mathbfB$, for each {it first occurrence} of a square-free integer $Mgeq2$, in the factorization $m_s(t)=:M{r}^2$, the unit $$ is the fundamental unit of norm $s$ of $mathbbQ(sqrtM)$, even if $r>1$ (Theorem 4.1). Using $m_{su}(t)=t^2-4su$, $ugeq2$, the algorithm gives arbitrary large lists of {it fundamental solutions} to $u^2-M{v}^2=4su$ (Theorem 4.11). We deduce, for $p>2$ prime, arbitrary large lists of {it non $p$-rational} quadratic fields (Theorems 6.3, 6.4, 6.5) and of degree $p-1$ imaginary fields with non-trivial $p$-class group (Theorems 7.1,7.2). PARI programs are given to be copied and pasted.
