About this title

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
