‎---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- "The first systematic presentation of analytic number theory".(DSB) ---- "Landau's principal field of endeavor was analytic number theory and in particular the distribution of prime numbers. In 1796 Gauss had conjectured the prime number theorem... This theorem was demonstrated in 1896 by Hadamard and de la Vallée-Poussin. In 1903 Landau presented a new, fundamentally simpler proof which, moreover, allowed the prime number theorem and a refinement made by de la Vallée-Poussin to be applied to the distribution of ideal primes in algebraic number fields... In his two-volume Handbuch der Lehre von der Verteilung der Primzahlen (1909), Landau gave the first systematic presentation of analytic number theory. For decades it was indispensable in research and teaching and remains an important historical document... Through his books and his more than 250 papers Landau exercised a great influence on the whole development of number theory in his time...".(DSB VII pp. 615/617)**3075/M3‎
