Number Theory is a vast and fascinating field of mathematics consisting of, among other things, the study of the properties of numbers (including Primes) Attractively written volume which contains clever examples and interesting problems in each chapter Covers an amazing amount of material with a leisurely pace which emphasizes readability De-mystifying approach offers solutions that are both understandable and elegant Newman's heartfelt enthusiasm enables readers to see what is magical about the subject; his genuine appreciation for the beauty of analytic number theory is clearly reflected in the mathematics which are presented

Zusammenfassung
Analytic Number Theory presents some of the central topics in number theory in a simple and concise fashion. A "Natural" Proof of the Non-vanishing of L-Series, and a Simple Analytic Proof of the Prime Number Theorem - all presented in a surprisingly elegant and efficient manner with clever examples and interesting problems in each chapter.
