Written as a book of "impressions" of a journey through the theory of complex algebraic curves, this text aims to present a clear account of theta functions, culminating in the Schottky problem.
This title is written as a book of "impressions' of a journey through the theory of complex algebraic curves. A cursory glance at the subjects visited reveals an apparently eclectic selection, from conics and cubics to theta functions, Jacobians, and questions of moduli, but 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 book is intended for graduate students and others looking for inspiration in the theory of complex algebraic curves and the attentive reader should learn much about complex algebraic curves and the tools used to study them.
