Bøker av Mike Field

This self-contained and relatively elementary introduction to functions of several complex variables and complex (especially compact) manifolds was first published in 1982. It was intended be a synthesis of those topics and a broad introduction to the field. The work as a whole will be useful to professional mathematicians or mathematical physicists who wish to acquire a further knowledge of this area of mathematics. Many exercises have been included and indeed they form an integral part of the text. The prerequisites for understanding Part I would be met by any mathematics student with a first degree and together the two parts were designed to provide an introduction to the more advanced works in the subject.

Part I is suitable for advanced undergraduates and beginning postgraduates whilst Part II is written more for the graduate student.
