Nearly a hundred years have passed since Viggo Brun invented his famous sieve, and the use of sieve methods is constantly evolving. As probability and combinatorics have penetrated the fabric of mathematical activity, sieve methods have become more versatile and sophisticated and in recent years have played a part in some of the most spectacular mathematical discoveries. Many arithmetical investigations encounter a combinatorial problem that requires a sieving argument, and this tract offers a modern and reliable guide in such situations. The theory of higher dimensional sieves is thoroughly explored, and examples are provided throughout. A Mathematica (R) software package for sieve-theoretical calculations is provided on the authors' website. To further benefit readers, the Appendix describes methods for computing sieve functions. These methods are generally applicable to the computation of other functions used in analytic number theory. The appendix also illustrates features of Mathematica (R) which aid in the computation of such functions.
Industry Reviews
'... definitely of great interest to the intermediate-advanced sieve theorist.' Internationale Mathematische Nachrichten
'This is a well-crafted book, with clear writing.' MAA Reviews
'... a very good source of details of techniques used in sieve methods and their applications, and therefore it can be warmly recommended for everyone interested in sieve methods.' EMS Newsletter
'Overall, this monograph is quite technical and is mostly aimed at people with a reasonable background in sieving theory. However, it is an excellent reference for anyone searching for the most up-to-date results in the theory.' Zentralblatt MATH
