Description
Book SynopsisFocuses on ergodic theory, combinatorics, and number theory. This book discusses a variety of topics, ranging from developments in additive prime number theory to expository articles on individual mathematical topics such as the law of large numbers and the Lucas-Lehmer test for Mersenne primes.
Trade ReviewTao's mathematical knowledge has an extraordinary combination of breadth and depth: he can write confidently and authoritatively on topics ... Reading these extended discussions in book form will, for many people at least, be easier than reading them on the blog." -
Mathematical Reviews"[This book] is demanding, entertaining, provides you with the big picture behind the sometimes technical results, and certainly gives you your money's worth. ... Armed with a minimal background in number theory, these lectures can be read with profit by advanced undergraduates." -
