Presently, the exploration of the applications of different techniques and tools of number theory and mathematical analysis are extensively prevalent in various areas of engineering, mathematical, physical, biological and statistical sciences. This book will present the most recent developments in these two fields through contributions from eminent scientists and mathematicians worldwide. The book will present the current state of the art development in these two areas through original new contributions and surveys. As such, readers will find several useful tools and techniques to develop their skills and expertise in number theory and applied analysis. New research directions are also indicated in each of the chapters. This book is meant for graduate students, faculty and researchers willing to expand their knowledge in number theory and mathematical analysis. The readers of this book will require minimum prerequisites of analysis, topology, number theory and functional analysis.
