This volume aims to present a straightforward and easily accessible
survey of the analytic theory of quadratic forms. Written at an
elementary level, the book provides a sound basis from which the
reader can study advanced works and undertake original research.
Roughly half a century ago C.L. Siegel discovered a new type of
automorphic forms in several variables in connection with his
famous work on the analytic theory of quadratic forms. Since then
Siegel modular forms have been studied extensively because of their
significance in both automorphic functions in several complex
variables and number theory. The comprehensive theory of
automorphic forms to subgroups of algebraic groups and the recent
arithmetical theory of modular forms illustrate these two aspects
in an illuminating manner. The text is based on the author's
lectures given over a number of years and is intended for a one
semester graduate course, although it can serve equally well for
self study . The only prerequisites are a knowledge of algebra,
number theory and complex analysis.
