[A]n accessible and fun introduction to modular forms. . . . [Summing It Up] is engaging and conversational, without losing accuracy or essential rigor. --Dominic Lanphier, American Mathematical Monthly Ash and Gross do a masterful job of leading students from finite sums to modular forms and to the forefront of modern number theory. . . . This is an excellent piece of mathematical writing. --Choice The authors did a remarkable job in making some aspects of modern number theory very accessible to readers with only a minimal knowledge of mathematics, say a student who had a first calculus course. However, also mathematicians who do not have number theory as their main focus will enjoy this book. --Adhemar Bultheel, European Mathematical Society Offers a clear and beautiful progression from addition to modern number theory. --Math-Blog Offers a clear and beautiful progression from addition to modern number theory. --Math-Blog The authors did a remarkable job in making some aspects of modern number theory very accessible to readers with only a minimal knowledge of mathematics, say a student who had a first calculus course.
