About this title

Synopsis

Excerpt from An Introduction to the Theory of Automorphic Functions

Owing largely to the researches of Poincare and Klein the domain of Automorphic Functions has expanded enormously during the last thirty-five years; and the ramifications of the subject have extended into many and diverse fields. This has caused embarrassment in the selection of materials for a book of modest dimensions, and has necessitated a brief treatment, or in some cases the exclusion, of many important and attractive subjects. The aim throughout has been to present in as thorough a manner as possible the concepts and theorems on which the theory is founded, and to describe in less detail certain of its important developments.

The present tract had its origin in a series of lectures on Automorphic Functions given to the Mathematical Research Class of the University of Edinburgh during the Spring Term of 1915.

I wish to express a grateful acknowledgment of my indebtedness to Professor Whittaker, who has read the manuscript during the course of its preparation, and has made many valuable suggestions; and to Mr Herbert Bell, who has assisted in the preparation of the Bibliography.
