Description
Book SynopsisCovers the classical theory of abstract Riemann surfaces. This book presents the requisite function theory and topology for Riemann surfaces. It also covers differentials and uniformization. For compact Riemann surfaces, it features topics such as divisors, Weierstrass points, and the Riemann-Roch theorem.
