Abstract

Preface: The main goal of this work is to give an introductory account of sieve methods that would be understandable with only a slight knowledge of analytic number theory. These notes are based to a large extent on lectures on sieve methods given by Professor Van Lint and the author in a number theory seminar during the 1970-71 academic year, but rather extensive changes have been made in both the content and the presentation.
