Klappentext zu „Ramanujan's Theta Functions “
Theta functions were studied extensively by Ramanujan. This book provides a systematic development of Ramanujan's results and extends them to a general theory. The author's treatment of the subject is comprehensive, providing a detailed study of theta functions and modular forms for levels up to 12. Aimed at advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and researchers, the organization, user-friendly presentation, and rich source of examples, lends this book to serve as a useful reference, a pedagogical tool, and a stimulus for further research.Topics, especially those discussed in the second half of the book, have been the subject of much recent research; many of which are appearing in book form for the first time. Further results are summarized in the numerous exercises at the end of each chapter.

Pressezitat
"Each chapter contains an extensive set of exercises, making the book suitable for students interested in an introduction to q-series, elliptic functions, and modular forms without necessarily requiring the theory of modular forms as a prerequisite. ... it will be a valuable reference book on Ramanujan's theta function identities together with their modern extensions and applications." (Jeremy Lovejoy, Mathematical Reviews, April, 2018)"This is a big and bountiful book, clearly written as a labor of love, and well worth the effort (both of writing and reading it). The book is pitched at advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and professionals or researchers, and this is entirely consonant with this kind of number theory ... . It's been a long time since I visited this material, but I am very happy to see it again." (Michael Berg, MAA Reviews, November, 2017)
