A Scrapbook of Complex Curve Theory (Graduate Studies in Mathematics) 2nd Edition by C. Herbert Clemens (PDF)

Description

This fine book by Herb Clemens quickly became a favorite of many complex algebraic geometers when it was first published in 1980. It has been popular with novices and experts ever since. It is written as a book of “impressions” of a journey through the theory of complex algebraic curves. Many topics of compelling beauty occur along the way. A cursory glance at the subjects visited reveals an apparently eclectic selection, from conics and cubics to theta functions, Jacobians, and questions of moduli. By the end of the book, the theme of theta functions becomes clear, culminating in the Schottky problem. The author’s intent was to motivate further study and to stimulate mathematical activity. The attentive reader will learn much about complex algebraic curves and the tools used to study them. The book can be especially useful to anyone preparing a course on the topic of complex curves or anyone interested in supplementing his/her reading.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This book fills a void in the literature, because there are so few books on complex curves available. What is available is somewhat sketchy, and this volume fills many gaps. A must have for anyone studying complex curve theory.

⭐I am biased because the author was a fellow math major in undergraduate college with me, He was the smartest member of our class.Most of my math books are meta math books. This is a real math book.
