This modern approach to the theory of automorphic representations keeps definitions to a minimum, focusing instead on providing concrete examples and detailed proofs of the key theorems. This book is the perfect introduction for students at the advanced undergraduate level and beyond, and for researchers new to the field.

L-functions associated to automorphic forms encode all classical number theoretic information. They are akin to elementary particles in physics. This book provides an entirely self-contained introduction to the theory of L-functions in a style accessible to graduate students with basic knowledge of classical analysis, complex variable theory, and algebra.
