The Riemann zeta function plays a central role in our understanding of the prime numbers. In this talk we will review some of its amazing properties as well as properties of other similar functions, the Dirichlet L-functions. We will then see how the...

In this talk we will begin by discussing the main goals of number theory and by explaining why zeta and L-functions are important. We will then introduce the Mahler measure, which is a function on the roots of polynomials but can also be extended to...
