1. Foundations 2. Some important Dirichlet series and arithmetic functions 3. The basic theorems 4. Prime numbers in residue classes: Dirichlet's theorem 5. Error estimates and the Riemann hypothesis 6. An "elementary" proof of the prime number theorem
At first glance the prime numbers appear to be distributed in a very irregular way amongst the integers, but it is possible to produce a simple formula that tells us (in an approximate but well defined sense) how many primes we can expect to find that are less than any integer we might choose.
