A Primer of Analytic Number Theory: From Pythagoras to Riemann

'… this is a well-written book at the level of senior undergraduates.' Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics

'The book constitutes an excellent undergraduate introduction to classical analytical number theory. The author develops the subject from the very beginning in an extremely good and readable style. Although a wide variety of topics are presented in the book, the author has successfully placed a rich historical background to each of the discussed themes, which makes the text very lively … the text contains a rich supplement of exercises, brief sketches of more advanced ideas and extensive graphical support. The book can be recommended as a very good first introductory reading for all those who are seriously interested in analytical number theory.' EMS Newsletter

'… a very readable account.' Mathematika

'The general style is user-friendly and interactive … a well presented and stimulating informal introduction to a wide range of topics …'. Proceedings of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society
