Synopsis

This modern introduction to the analytic techniques used in the investigation of zeta-function avoids technical results and the customary function-theoretic approach. Since Riemann's introduction, many other classes of "zeta-function" have been introduced and are now intensively studied.

Review

'This is a clear and concise introduction to the zeta function that concentrates on the function-theoretical aspects rather than number theory ... The exercises are especially good, numerous and challenging. They extend the results of the text, or ask you to prove analogous results. Very Good Feature: Seven appendices that give most of the function-theoretical background you need to know to read this book. The Fourier Theory appendix is a gem: everything you need to know about the subject, including proofs, in 11 pages!' Allen Stenger, Mathematical Association of America Reviews
