Theory of Functions, Parts I and II (Dover Books on Mathematics)

By Konrad Knopp

This is a one-volume edition of Parts I and II of the classic five-volume set The Theory of Functions prepared by renowned mathematician Konrad Knopp. Concise, easy to follow, yet complete and rigorous, the work includes full demonstrations and detailed proofs. Part I stresses the general foundation of the theory of functions, providing the student with background for further books on a more advanced level. Part II places major emphasis on special functions and characteristic, important types of functions, selected from single-valued and multiple-valued classes.

Customer Reviews

Truly a gem of a book.

This elegant little book covers the elements of a senior or 1st year graduate course on complex analysis, although a really good mathematics program like at Berkeley may look upon it as providing some material for a junior course in advanced calculus. It is not a new book, i.e. it predates the space age and computers, but the material is timeless and fundamental. Highly recommended for those who want some exposure to a first-class style in mathematics.

a short review of the book theory of functions by Knopp

Despite not being a very recent book, a graduate student of mathematics who has to prepare complex analysis as a general topic for his qualifying examinations may find that this text covers all the essential material in the subject.
