This paper is an expository account of our 1976 monograph [6] on Scattering theory for automorphic functions.Several improvements have been incorporated: a more direct proof of the meromorphic character of the Eisenstein series, an explicit formula for the translation representations and a simpler derivation of the spectral representations.Our hyperbolic approach to the Selberg trace formula is also included.
