This book contains lectures presented by Hugh L. Montgomery at the NSF-CBMS Regional Conference held at Kansas State University in May 1990. The book focuses on important topics in analytic number theory that involve ideas from harmonic analysis. One valuable aspect of the book is that it collects material that was either unpublished or that had appeared only in the research literature. This book would be an excellent resource for harmonic analysts interested in moving into research in analytic number theory. In addition, it is suitable as a textbook in an advanced graduate topics course in number theory.

《解析数论导论》前五章讲述可约性、收敛和算术函数等基本概念。紧下来的章节讲述序列中素数的狄利克莱定理、高斯和、二次剩余、狄利克莱级数和欧拉积及其在黎曼zeta函数和狄利克莱函数中的应用，并且引进了划分的概念。书中每章末都收集了大量练习。前十章，除去第一章，任何具备基本微积分知识的人都可以读懂；最后四章需要对复函数理论（包括复积分和留数积分）一定的了解。
