Analytic Number Theory: Exploring the Anatomy of Integers
Share this pageJean-Marie De Koninck; Florian Luca
The authors assemble a fascinating collection of topics from analytic
number theory that provides an introduction to the subject with a very
clear and unique focus on the anatomy of integers, that is, on the
study of the multiplicative structure of the integers. Some of the
most important topics presented are the global and local behavior of
arithmetic functions, an extensive study of smooth numbers, the
Hardy-Ramanujan and Landau theorems, characters and the Dirichlet
theorem, the \(abc\) conjecture along with some of its
applications, and sieve methods. The book concludes with a whole
chapter on the index of composition of an integer.
One of this book's best features is the collection of problems at
the end of each chapter that have been chosen carefully to reinforce
the material. The authors include solutions to the even-numbered
problems, making this volume very appropriate for readers who want to
test their understanding of the theory presented in the book.
