This is an introduction to analytic number theory developed through the study of the distribution of prime numbers, highlighting how analytic number theorists think. The central focus is on the Prime Number Theorem, presented through a proof selected to balance conceptual understanding with technical depth, alongside a sketch of Riemann's classical approach to highlight the subject's elegance. Providing a wide range of further directions (e.g., sieve methods, the anatomy of integers, primes in arithmetic progressions, prime gaps, smooth numbers, and extensive discussion of probabilistic...
