{"product_id":"9781468470024","title":"University Series in Mathematics","description":"\u003ch1\u003eUniversity Series in Mathematics\u003c\/h1\u003e \u003ch2\u003eClemens, C. Herbert\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is a book of \"impressions\" of a journey through the theory of com­ plex algebraic curves. It is neither self-contained, balanced, nor particularly tightly organized. As with any notebook made on a journey, what appears is that which strikes the writer's fancy. Some topics appear because of their compelling intrinsic beauty. Others are left out because, for all their impor­ tance, the traveler found them boring or was too dull or lazy to give them their due. Looking back at the end of the journey, one can see that a common theme in fact does emerge, as is so often the case; that theme is the theory of theta functions. In fact very much of the material in the book is prepara­ tion for our study of the final topic, the so-called Schottky problem. More than once, in fact, we tear ourselves away from interesting topics leading elsewhere and return to our main route.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-04-02\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781468470024\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4684-7000-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 229cm x152cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 196\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45987752575116,"sku":"9781468470024","price":62.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781468470024.jpg?v=1775743291","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781468470024","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
