THEORY OF FUNCTIONS OF A COMPLEX VARIABLE

Nearly all* of the numerous present German textbooks on the theory of functions treat the subject from a single point of view- either that of WEIERSTRASS or that of RIEMANN. More recent French and English textbooks (PICARD, FORSYTH, HARKNESS and MORLEY) have endeavored to close the gap between the two methods; in Germany, too, lectures and Scientific works have gradually sought to unify the two theory. But we are yet in need of a book of moderate extent ... suitable to introduce beginning students to the both methods.
