We will briefly trace the history of this particular problem starting fro m Kowalski\, Michel\, and Vanderkam\, with a lot of authors in between upt o the seminal work of Michel\, Venkatesh. I will then try to explain how t he circle method enters this question by sketching an argument of Munshi f or what is perhaps the simplest case i.e character twists of GL(2) L-funct ions. I will end the talk by explaining how we can solve the Subconvexity problem for Rankin-Selberg L-functions in the combined level aspect by a v ery easy version of the circle method and see how this approach is connect ed to earlier work on the same problem.\n LOCATION:https://researchseminars.org/talk/CMI/2/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
