Sobre IBD

"This is a charming book, written as a conversation between mathematician Papa Paulo and his grandsons. A motivated reader can learn not only about prime numbers, but also something about how mathematicians think, work, and ask questions from reading this book."Mathematical Association of America Prime Numbers, Friends Who Give Problems is written as a trialogue, with two persons who are interested in prime numbers asking the author, Papa Paulo, intelligent questions. Starting at a very elementary level, the book advances steadily, covering all important topics of the theory of prime numbers, up to the most famous problems. The humorous conversations and the inclusion of a back-story add to the uniqueness of the book. Concepts and results are also explained with great care, making the book accessible to a wide audience.

  • The Gross-Zagier Formula on Shimura Curves
    Shou-Wu Zhang / Wei Zhang / Xinyi Yuan
    This comprehensive account of the Gross-Zagier formula on Shimura curves over totally real fields relates the heights of Heegner points on abelian varieties to the derivatives of L-series. The formula will have new applications for the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture and Diophantine equations. The book begins with a conceptual formulation of the Gross-Zagier formula in ter...
  • Prime-Detecting Sieves (LMS-33)
    Glyn Harman
    This book seeks to describe the rapid development in recent decades of sieve methods able to detect prime numbers. The subject began with Eratosthenes in antiquity, took on new shape with Legendre’s form of the sieve, was substantially reworked by Ivan M. Vinogradov and Yuri V. Linnik, but came into its own with Robert C. Vaughan and important contributions from others, notably...
