The Prime Number Theorem (London Mathematical Society Student Texts, Series Number 53)

The Prime Number Theorem (London Mathematical Society Student Texts, Series Number 53) by Jameson, G. J. O.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780521814119.

At first glance the prime numbers appear to be distributed in a very irregular way amongst the integers, but it is possible to produce a simple formula that tells (in an approximate but well-defined sense) how many primes can be found that are less than any integer. The prime number theorem tells what this formula is and it is indisputably one of the the great classical theorems of mathematics. This textbook introduces the prime number theorem and is suitable for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students. The author deftly shows how analytical tools can be used in number theory to attack a real problem.
