Problems in Analytic Number Theory

by M. Ram Murty

Overview

This book is a collection of about 500 problems in analytic number theory with the singular purpose of training the beginning graduate student in some of its significant techniques. This book, along with Murty's other book "Problems in Algebraic Number Theory" are intended to enable the student to gain a quick initiation into the beautiful subject of number theory. Since the subject is rapidly expanding such an expedient route becomes indispensable. The material in these two books provides a "basic tool kit" for the number theorist.

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)
