Problems in Analytic Number Theory by M Ram Murty
This informative and exhaustive study 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 new edition has been completely rewritten, errors have been corrected, and there is a new chapter on the arithmetic progression of primes.MR. Murty
Problems in Analytic Number Theory
"The reviewer strongly approves of the problem-based approach to learning, and recommends this book to any student of analytic number theory."
—MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS
From the reviews of the second edition:
“This expanded and corrected second edition of this useful and interesting book has a new chapter on the topic of equidistribution. … this monograph gives important results and techniques for specific topics, together with many exercises. … I do enjoy this book … and I imagine when I take the graduate course in the subject that it will be of a greater benefit, which is why I offered such a high rating.” (Philosophy, Religion and Science Book Reviews, bookinspections.wordpress.com, July, 2013)
"The second edition of the book has eleven chapters … . the book can be used both as a problem book (as its title shows) and also as a textbook (as the series in which the book is published shows). … is ideal as a text for a first course in analytic number theory, either at the senior undergraduate or the graduate level. … I believe that this book will be very useful for students, researchers and professors. It is well written … ." (Mehdi Hassani, MathDL, April, 2008)
M. Ram Murty is professor at the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Queen s University, Canada, where he is a Queen's Research Chair in Mathematics. He is also professor of philosophy at Queen s. He was elected a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 1990, the Indian National Science Academy in 2008, and won the Coxeter James Prize, Jeffery Williams Prize, the E.W.R. Steacie Fellowship, and the Killam Fellowship. His research areas include number theory, modular forms, elliptic curves, and sieve theory. An author of over five books with Springer, his book Non-vanishing of L-functions and Applications, coauthored by his brother V. Kumar Murty, won the 1996 Balaguer Prize and was published by Birkhauser.
