Description for Dynamics in One Complex Variable. (AM-160): (AM-160) - Third Edition
Paperback. Helps you study the dynamics of iterated holomorphic mappings from a Riemann surface to itself, concentrating on the classical case of rational maps of the Riemann sphere. This title introduces some key ideas in the field, and to form a basis for further study. Series: Annals of Mathematics Studies. Num Pages: 320 pages, 45 line illus. BIC Classification: PBKD. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 254 x 179 x 17. Weight in Grams: 604.
This volume studies the dynamics of iterated holomorphic mappings from a Riemann surface to itself, concentrating on the classical case of rational maps of the Riemann sphere. This subject is large and rapidly growing. These lectures are intended to introduce some key ideas in the field, and to form a basis for further study. The reader is assumed to be familiar with the rudiments of complex variable theory and of two-dimensional differential geometry, as well as some basic topics from topology. This third edition contains a number of minor additions and improvements: A historical survey has been added, the definition ... Read more

Reviews for Dynamics in One Complex Variable. (AM-160): (AM-160) - Third Edition
"John Milnor's book provides a solid foundation and the kind of bird's eye view that perhaps only a mathematician of his caliber can offer."
