| Summary |
This is an authoritative but accessible text on one dimensional complex manifolds or Riemann surfaces. Dealing with the main results on Riemann surfaces from a variety of points of view the book pulls together materials from global analysis topology, and algebraic geometry, and covers the essential mathematical methods and tools |
