Reviews

From the reviews:

"The six chapters of this monograph give a broad, user-friendly introduction to the Langlands program, that is, the theory of automorphic forms and its connection with the theory of L-functions and other fields of mathematics. First-year graduate students and researchers will benefit from this beautiful text."

--Zentralblatt Math

". . . the present volume constitutes the most readable entree into the subject to date, suitable both for serious reading and for browsing, and should attract a new generation to this exciting subject. . . . Recommended."

--CHOICE

"I suspect this book will find its way into the hands of many graduate students. Perhaps it will also motivate a few of them to learn more, get involved, and make their own contributions." (MAA REVIEWS)
