Fourier Analysis on Number Fields (Softcover Reprint of the Original 1st 1999)Paperback - Softcover Reprint of the Original 1st 1999, 3 March 2013

The general aim of this book is to provide a modern approach to number theory through a blending of complementary algebraic and analytic perspectives, emphasizing harmonic analysis on topological groups. The more particular goal is to cover John Tate's visionary thesis, giving virtually all of the necessary analytic details and topological preliminaries--technical prerequisites that are often foreign to the typical, more algebraically inclinded number theorist.
