Lectures on the Riemann Zeta Function
This course offers a comprehensive exploration of the Riemann zeta function, ζ(s), one of the most profound and enigmatic objects in number theory. Drawing inspiration from H. Iwaniec's Lectures on the Riemann Zeta Function, the course will cover both classical and modern aspects of ζ(s), with a focus on its analytic properties, connections to prime numbers, and the celebrated Riemann Hypothesis.
