This book presents the history of prime numbers before 1926 Its aim is to present the main results and proofs and to outline the development of methods with which such problems were attacked in the course of time It can be read by any person with the knowledge of the fundamental notions of number theory and complex analysis
Klappentext
This book presents the development of Prime Number Theory from its beginnings until the end of the first decade of the XXth century. Special emphasis is given to the work of Cebysev, Dirichlet, Riemann, Vallée-Poussin, Hadamard and Landau. The book presents the principal results with proofs and also gives, mostly in short comments, an overview of the development in the last 80 years. It is, however, not a historical book since it does not give biographical details of the people who have played a role in the development of Prime Number Theory. The book contains a large list of references with more than 1800 items. It can be read by any person with a knowledge of fundamental notions of number theory and complex analysis.
Zusammenfassung
"This is a most welcome addition to the literature on prime numbers, zeta and L-functions and arithmetical functions. ... The style is clear, with just the right amount of details. Each chapter closes with carefully chosen Exercises. Novices and experts alike will find that this a book of highest quality, which sets a standard for future works dealing with the history of Mathematics." (A.Ivic, zbMATH 0942.11002, 2021)
