Sieve theory has a rich and romantic history. The ancient question
of whether there exist infinitely many twin primes (primes p such
that p+2 is also prime), and Goldbach's conjecture that every even
number can be written as the sum of two prime numbers, have been
two of the problems that have inspired the development of the
theory. This book provides a motivated introduction to sieve
theory. Rather than focus on technical details which can obscure
the beauty of the theory, the authors focus on examples and
applications, developing the theory in parallel. The text can be
used for a senior level undergraduate course or an introductory
graduate course in analytic number theory, and non-experts can gain
a quick introduction to the techniques of the subject.
