INTRODUCTION In these lecture notes we prove analytic continuation and functional equations for Selberg's Eisensteinseries, Selberg's zetafunctions, Selberg's L-series, and Siegel's Eisensteinseries. We start with Epstein's zetafunction for a binary quadratic form and Epstein's L-functions which are connected with Epstein's zetafunction like Dirichlet's L-series are connected with Riemann's zetafunction. Then we consider Eisensteinseries for the elliptic modular group which are also closely related to Epstein's zetafunction. In the next chapters we come to Selberg's zetafunction (see [33J, § 17, Selberg [41J, and Terras [45J, [46J). Furthermore we consider Selberg's L-series which are connected with Selberg's zetafunctions like Dirichlet's L-series are conn
