François Brunault is Associate Professor at École Normale Supérieure, Lyon in France, and is a member of the Mathematical Society of France. He is an arithmetic geometer with interest in elliptic curves, modular forms and L-functions, both from a theoretical and explicit point of view. Wadim Zudilin is Professor of Pure Mathematics at Radboud University Nijmegen, known for his results that make use of special functions in number theory, in particular, about the irrationality for the values of Riemann's zeta function at positive integers. He co-authored the book Neverending Fractions: An Introduction to Continued Fractions (Cambridge, 2014).

'… the book will serve as a great introduction to the subject of Mahler's measure, in some of its manifold variations, with a special focus on its links with special values of L-functions. It is particularly suited for a student or research seminar, as well as for individual work, because of its concise nature, which emphasizes the most important points of the theory, while not leaving out crucial details when needed.'
