SynopsisPresents complex algebraic curves. This book covers a range of topics from conics and cubics to theta functions, Jacobians, and questions of moduli. It is suitable for those preparing a course on the topic of complex curves., This fine book by Herb Clemens quickly became a favorite of many complex algebraic geometers when it was first published in 1980. It has been popular with novices and experts ever since. It is written as a book of ''impressions'' of a journey through the theory of complex algebraic curves. Many topics of compelling beauty occur along the way. A cursory glance at the subjects visited reveals an apparently eclectic selection, from conics and cubics to theta functions, Jacobians, and questions of moduli. By the end of the book, the theme of theta functions becomes clear, culminating in the Schottky problem. The author's intent was to motivate further study and to stimulate mathematical activity. The attentive reader will learn much about complex algebraic curves and the tools used to study them. The book can be especially useful to anyone preparing a course on the topic of complex curves or anyone interested in supplementing his/her reading., This title is written as a book of impressions'' of a journey through the theory of complex algebraic curves.
