Course description and aims
This course is an introduction to analytic number theory. Particularly, we will study modern tools and concepts in the theory of zeta- and L-functions. This course is followed by Advanced topics in Algebra F1.
Zeta- and L-functions appear in many areas of number theory, and are studied very actively. This course hopes to provide solid background for students intending to learn advanced topics on zeta- and L-functions. We begin with the classical Riemann zeta function.
Student learning outcomes
Students are expected to:
-- understand fundamental notions and methods of analytic number theory
-- be familiar with modern tools and concepts in the theory of zeta- and L-functions.
Keywords
Riemann zeta function, functional equation, Prime Number Theorem, zero-free region, explicit formula
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | Practical and/or problem-solving skills |

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)
To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
