This book gives a problem-solving approach to the difficult subject of analytic number theory. It is primarily aimed at graduate students and senior undergraduates. The goal is to provide a rapid introduction to analytic methods and the ways in which they are used to study the distribution of prime numbers. The book also includes an introduction to p-adic analytic methods. It is ideal for a first course in analytic number theory.
The first few chapters were great, but I wasn’t able to finish the book. Knowing the math I know now, I feel like some of the content of the later chapters could have been motivated better.
