| Summary |
Annotation This unique exposition by Hadamard offers a fascinating and intuitive introduction to the subject of automorphic functions and illuminates its connection to differential equations, a connection not often found in other texts. This volume is one of an informal sequence of works within the History of Mathematics series. Volumes in this subset, Sources, are classical mathematical works that served as cornerstones for modern mathematical thought |
