It is a familiar fact that an important part is played in the Analytic Theory of Numbers by Fourier series. There are, for example, applications to Gauss' sums, to the zeta functions, to lattice point problems, and to formulae for the class number of quadratic fields.

Some applications of Fourier series in the analytic theory of numbers.Page 589, equation (3–10), after “k>0” insert “and 0<R(s)< 1,” and for “2nπi/k” read “2nπix/k.”Page 589, equation (3·11), forAdd also ‘The evaluation of the integrals given in (3·11) is obvious when 0 < R (s) < 1, and then holds also for 0 < R (s) < 2 by the theory of analytic continuation.”
