Abstract
[This text provides a concise introduction to the world of automorphic forms using two approaches, the classic elementary theory and the modern point of view of adeles and representation theory. The reader will learn the important aims and results of the theory by focussing on its essential aspects and restricting it to the 'base field' of rational numbers., This text provides a concise introduction to the world of automorphic forms using two approaches, the classic elementary theory and the modern point of view of adeles and representation theory.
