His many talents included an ability to express complicated mathematical ideas directly and comprehensively, and this book, a consideration of the investigations in the first part of Riemann's Theory of Abelian Functions , is a prime example of his expository powers. The treatment introduces Riemann's approach to multiple-value functions and the geometrical representation of these functions by what later became known as Riemann surfaces. It further concentrates on the kinds of functions that can be defined on these surfaces, confining the treatment to rational functions and their integrals. The text then demonstrates how Riemann's mathematical ideas about Abelian integrals can be arrived at by thinking in terms of the flow of electric current on surfaces. Klein's primary concern is preserving the sequence of thought and offering intuitive explanations of Riemann's notions, rather than furnishing detailed proofs. Deeply significant in the area of complex functions, this work constitutes one of the best introductions to the origins of topological problems. 588 0 Print version record. 650 0 Riemann surfaces. 650 0 Functions. 650 7 MATHEMATICS / Algebra / Abstract.|2bisacsh 655 0 Electronic books. 700 1 Hardcastle, Frances,|d1866-|etranslator. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aKlein, Felix, 1849-1925.|tOn Riemann's theory of algebraic functions and their integrals. |dMineola, New York : Dover Publications, 2018. |z9780486828336|w(DLC)2018016570 914 frd00026166
