Literature:
- H. Davenport, Multiplicative Number Theory. Link for download from Springerlink
Classical introduction to the field, contains all the material of the course. Fairly readable.
- H. L. Montgomery and R. C. Vaughan, Multiplicative Number Theory. Part I: Classical Theory.
- H. Iwaniec and E. Kowalski, Analytic Number Theory.
- G. Tenenbaum, Introduction to Analytic and Probabilistic Number Theory.
Three very comprehensive classics, with different focus. Montgomery/Vaughan focusses mostly on the theory of the Riemann zeta function, the prime number theorem and related topics. Iwaniec/Kowalski is more oriented towards sieve methods and modular forms, Tenenbaum provides more analytic context and also includes a part on probabilistic number theory.
- T. M. Apostol, Introduction to Analytic Number Theory. Link for download from Springerlink
Easy introduction to the topic
- J. Brüdern, Einführung in die analytische Zahlentheorie (in German).
German classic, and the book I personally am most familiar with. Excerpts from me on demand.
