Since the 1930s, the analytic theory of numbers has been transformed by the influence of I. M. Vinogradov, and this text for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students testifies to its author's ingenuity and to the effectiveness of his methods. Starting with a discussion of general lemmas, it advances to an investigation of Waring's problem, including explorations of singular series, the contribution of the basic intervals, and an estimate for G( n ). Further topics include approximation by the fractional parts of the values of a polynomial, estimates for Weyl sums, the asymptotic formula in Waring's problem, the distribution of the fractional parts of the values of a polynomial, estimates for the simplest trigonometrical sums with primes, and Goldbach's problem. 1954 edition.
