Elementary proof of the prime number theorem
In 1949, Selberg and Erdos independently published elementary proofs (no use of complex analysis and the Riemann zeta-function theory) of the prime number theorem. In this talk we will go through slightly simplified proof by Levinson, and see how we might present it to students who are studying Selected topics in number theory at FAMNIT.
