This lucid and insightful exploration reviews complex analysis and introduces the Riemann manifold. It also shows how to define real functions on manifolds analogously with algebraic and analytic points of view. Richly endowed with more than 340 exercises, this book is perfect for classroom use or independent study. 1967 edition.
