Maclane\u003c\/b\u003e (Translator)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis classic on the general history of functions was written by one of the twentieth century's best-known mathematicians. Hermann Weyl, who worked with Einstein at Princeton, combined function theory and geometry in this high-level landmark work, forming a new branch of mathematics and the basis of the modern approach to analysis, geometry, and topology.\u003cbr\u003eThe author intended this book not only to develop the basic ideas of Riemann's theory of algebraic functions and their integrals but also to examine the related ideas and theorems with an unprecedented degree of rigor. Weyl's two-part treatment begins by defining the concept and topology of Riemann surfaces and concludes with an exploration of functions of Riemann surfaces. His teachings illustrate the role of Riemann surfaces as not only devices for visualizing the values of analytic functions but also as indispensable components of the theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlong with his fundamental contributions to most branches of mathematics, Hermann Weyl (1885-1955) took a serious interest in theoretical physics. In addition to teaching in Zürich, Göttingen, and Princeton, Weyl worked with Einstein on relativity theory at the Institute for Advanced Studies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHermann Weyl: The Search for Beautiful Truths \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eOne of the most influential mathematicians of the twentieth century, Hermann Weyl (1885-1955) was associated with three major institutions during his working years: the ETH Zurich (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology), the University of Gottingen, and the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. In the last decade of Weyl's life (he died in Princeton in 1955), Dover reprinted two of his major works, \u003ci\u003eThe Theory of Groups and Quantum Mechanics\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSpace, Time, Matter\u003c\/i\u003e. Two others, \u003ci\u003eThe Continuum\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Concept of a Riemann Surface\u003c\/i\u003e were added to the Dover list in recent years. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIn the Author's Own Words: \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eMy work always tried to unite the truth with the beautiful, but when I had to choose one or the other, I usually chose the beautiful. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe are not very pleased when we are forced to accept mathematical truth by virtue of a complicated chain of formal conclusions and computations, which we traverse blindly, link by link, feeling our way by touch.
