December 31, 1935 St. Louis, Missouri INTRODUCTION In January 1936, just weeks after the completion of the first volume of the Duke Mathematical Journal (DMJ), Roland G. D. Richardson, professor and dean of the graduate school at Brown University, longtime secretary of the American Mathematical Society (AMS), and one of the early proponents of the founding of the journal, wrote to Duke President William Preston Few to share the AMS Council’s recent laudatory resolution and to offer his own personal note of congratulations: In my dozen years as Secretary of the American Mathematical Society no project has interested me more than the founding of this new mathematical journal.

  • Multiplicative Number Theory: the Pretentious Approach Andrew
    Multiplicative number theory: The pretentious approach Andrew Granville K. Soundararajan To Marci and Waheeda c Andrew Granville, K. Soundararajan, 2014 3 Preface AG to work on: sort out / finalize? part 1. Sort out what we discuss about Halasz once the paper has been written. Ch3.3, 3.10 (Small gaps)and then all the Linnik stuff to be cleaned up; i.e. all of chapter 4. Sort out 5.6, 5.7 and chapter 6 ! Riemann's seminal 1860 memoir showed how questions on the distribution of prime numbers are more-or-less equivalent to questions on the distribution of zeros of the Riemann zeta function. This was the starting point for the beautiful theory which is at the heart of analytic number theory. Until now there has been no other coherent approach that was capable of addressing all of the central issues of analytic number theory. In this book we present the pretentious view of analytic number theory; allowing us to recover the basic results of prime number theory without use of zeros of the Riemann zeta-function and related L-functions, and to improve various results in the literature. This approach is certainly more flexible than the classical approach since it allows one to work on many questions for which L-function methods are not suited. However there is no beautiful explicit formula that promises to obtain the strongest believable results (which is the sort of thing one obtains from the Riemann zeta-function). So why pretentious? • It is an intellectual challenge to see how much of the classical theory one can reprove without recourse to the more subtle L-function methodology (For a long time, top experts had believed that it is impossible is prove the prime number theorem without an analysis of zeros of analytic continuations.
