Review

From the reviews:

1. J. Newman

Analytic Number Theory

“This book is remarkable . . . The author’s style remains pleasantly discursive throughout the book. Any of these chapters might be useful to a reader planning a lecture course in the relevant subject area . . . The student of analytic number theory would do well to find shelf-room for this book.”―MATHEMATICAL

“Donald J. Newman was a noted problem-solver who believed that math should be fun and that beautiful theorems should have beautiful proofs. This short book collects brief, self-contained proofs of several well-known theorems in analytic number theory … .” (Allen Stenger, The Mathematical Association of America, November, 2010)
