Modular Functions and Dirichlet Series in Number Theory

From the reviews of the second edition: "Apostol is an excellent writer of mathematics and the topics that are covered in this book are covered thoroughly in a concise, precise manner. ... the writing is characterized by its easy, readable, fluid style. Each chapter is complemented with a nice set of exercises." (Alvaro Lozano-Robledo, The Mathematical Association of America, June, 2011)
