Description for Compact Riemann Surfaces: An Introduction to Contemporary Mathematics (Universitext)
Paperback. Unique among textbooks on Riemann surfaces, this book includes an introduction to Teichmuller theory. For this new edition, the author has expanded and rewritten several sections to include additional material and to improve the presentation. Series: Universitext. Num Pages: 300 pages, 23 black & white illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PBMP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 16. Weight in Grams: 950.
This book is novel in its broad perspective on Riemann surfaces: the text systematically explores the connection with other fields of mathematics. The book can serve as an introduction to contemporary mathematics as a whole, as it develops background material from algebraic topology, differential geometry, the calculus of variations, elliptic PDE, and algebraic geometry. The book is unique among textbooks on Riemann surfaces in its inclusion of an introduction to Teichmuller theory. For this new edition, the author has expanded and rewritten several sections to include additional material and to improve the presentation.

Reviews for Compact Riemann Surfaces: An Introduction to Contemporary Mathematics (Universitext)
From the reviews: Compact Riemann Surfaces: An Introduction to Contemporary Mathematics starts off with a wonderful Preface containing a good deal of history, as well as Jost's explicit dictum that there are three foci around which the whole subject revolves ... . Jost's presentation is quite accessible, modulo a lot of diligence ... Read more
