Zeta functions are analytic functions with remarkable properties. They have played a crucial role in the proof of many significant theorems in mathematics: Dirichlet's theorem on primes in arithmetic progressions, the Prime Number Theorem, and the proofs of the Weil conjectures and the Taniyama—Shimura conjecture to name just a few.
