Three Lectures on the Modularity of \(\bar{\rho }\) E,3 and the Langlands Reciprocity Conjecture

My purpose in these Lectures is to explain how the (automorphic representation theoretic methods and) results of LANGLANDS come into the proof, and how these results themselves are proved. An Introduction to each of the Lectures describes more of the topics discussed; but the titles already speak for themselves:
