Analytic Number Theory: Course Description

Analytic number theory explores the properties of prime numbers and integers using real and complex analysis. In this introductory course, students will look at a variety of analysis theories and techniques, including the prime number theorem, the Riemann zeta function, von Mangoldt's formula, the Selberg sieve and Sato-Tate distribution. The 'Analytic Number Theory' course, designed by MIT's Professor Kiran Kedlaya, presents these topics through a series of 25 lectures, with recommended readings and exercises to help further your understanding of analytic number theory. The course was developed for graduate students of Mathematics who have completed some previous coursework in complex analysis, number theory and abstract analysis.

The OpenCourseWare includes downloadable readings, lecture notes and assignments. For more information, visit the analytic number theory course web page.
