Special Topics

A few books that emphasize certain aspects of the theory (some are useful for your future complex analysis endeavors):
  • O. Forster, Lectures on Riemann surfaces, Springer, 1981.
    The best introduction to the subject.
  • S. Krantz, Complex Analysis: The Geometric Viewpoint, 2nd ed., MAA, 2004.
    For conformal metrics, hyperbolicity, generalizations of the Schwarz Lemma and its interpretation in terms of curvature.
  • Z. Nehari, Conformal Mappings, Dover, 1990.
    Excellent source for conformal mappings of simply and multiply connected domains, and many special functions.
  • R. Remmert, Classical Topics in Complex Function Theory, Springer, 1998.
    A highly readable account of many classical topics, with great historical notes.
