This textbook presents a unified approach to compact and noncompact Riemann surfaces from the point of view of the so-called L2 $\bar{\delta}$-method. This meth

This book is novel in its broad perspective on Riemann surfaces: the text systematically explores the connection with other fields of mathematics. The book can

This book grew out of lectures on Riemann surfaces given by Otto Forster at the universities of Munich, Regensburg, and Münster. It provides a concise modern i

Covers the classical theory of abstract Riemann surfaces. This book presents the requisite function theory and topology for Riemann surfaces. It also covers dif

The book was easy to understand, with many examples. The exercises were well chosen, and served to give further examples and developments of the theory. --Willi
