Classical topics in complex function theory / Reinhold Remmert

English translation of R. Remmert's “Funktionentheorie II”, 2nd German edition, under the adequate title “Classical topics in complex function theory” constitutes a special event in complex analysis literature, extending by far reader's circle of this excellent work. ...The author wrote about monograph's leitmotiv (Preface to 1st German edition): “Presentation of function theory with vigorous connections to historical development and related disciplines. It is intended that the reader experiences function theory personally and participates in the work of the creative mathematician."

By the richness of material, much combined for the first time in a book, the extensive bibliography, the interesting comments on the historical evolution till present results, by glimpses of function theory of several complex variables, numerous examples exercises, biographical notes, this monograph represents an invaluable and attractive source of information for every mathematician and an ideal text for an advanced course in complex function theory.
