A Primer of Analytic Number Theory: From Pythagoras to Riemann

Rate this book
This undergraduate-level introduction describes those mathematical properties of prime numbers that can be deduced with the tools of calculus. Jeffrey Stopple pays special attention to the rich history of the subject and ancient questions on polygonal numbers, perfect numbers and amicable pairs, as well as to the important open problems. The culmination of the book is a brief presentation of the Riemann zeta function, which determines the distribution of prime numbers, and of the significance of the Riemann Hypothesis.

Ótimo livro para abordar Teoria Analítica dos Números no nível de graduação. Não aborda algumas provas comuns, como a do Teorema dos Números Primos, mas ainda sim, cita e explica uma lógica relacionada.

Outro ponto positivo é que o livro faz isso tudo sem Análise Complexa, o que faz sentido para o nível de graduação porque Análise Complexa não é um curso comum.
