Product Description
During the second half of the 19th century Leopold Kronecker cherished a dream, his Jugendtraum, that he should see the formulation of a complete theory of complex multiplication. In this important book Serge Vladut has studied this dream, tracing the development of elliptic function theory from its genesis to themost recent achievements.
