Trace Formula

S. Gelbart Lectures on the Arthur--Selberg Trace Formula.
An excellent book on trace formula. A good introduction to Arthur's methods. It describes the contents of Arthur's earlier, foundational papers on the trace formula and apply them in detail to the case of GL(2).

One very first paper to derive trace formula on GL(2). Source : AMS online book
Knapp,Theoretical aspects of the trace formula for $GL(2)$ (pdf)
The article should be read along with Gelbart and Jacquet's paper. It fills in more details. Source :Knapp's publications.
