Abstract
In Chapters 8 and 9 the reader had ample opportunity to convince himself that tools like the theory of functions of a complex variable, or Tauberian theorems, can be very useful in handling seemingly unrelated problems like the number π(x) of primes up to x. These same theories, while hardly mentioned in Chapter 7, have been found to be needed in the treatment of certain partition problems.
