Summary:

This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date treatment of research carried out in the last twenty years on congruences involving the values of L-functions (attached to quadratic characters) at certain special values. There is no other book on the market which deals with this subject. The book presents in a unified way congruences found by many authors over the years, from the classical ones of Gauss and Dirichlet to the recent ones of Gras, Vehara, and others. Audience: This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers interested in (analytic) number theory, functions of a complex variable and special functions.
