Introduction to Analytic Number Theory Lecture Notes
Analytic
number theory provides some powerful tools to study prime numbers, and most of
our current knowledge of primes has been obtained using these tools. Topics
covered includes: Primes and the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, Arithmetic
functions: Elementary theory, Dirichlet series and Euler products and Asymptotic
estimates, Distribution of primes: Elementary results and Proof of the Prime
Number Theorem, Primes in arithmetic progressions.

The
notes contain a useful introduction to important topics that need to be
addressed in a course in number theory. Proofs of basic theorems are presented
in an interesting and comprehensive way that can be read and understood even by
non-majors with the exception in the last three chapters where a background in
analysis, measure theory and abstract algebra is required.
