Functions of one complex variable. II
This is the sequel to my book Functions of One Complex Variable I, and probably a good opportunity to express my appreciation to the mathematical community for its reception of that work. Going from a certain mathematical vantage point to another is thought by many as being independent of the path; certainly true if your only objective is getting there. But getting there is often half the fun and often there is twice the value in the journey if the path is properly chosen. The topics in this volume are some of the parts of analytic function theory that I have found either useful for my work in operator theory or enjoyable in themselves; usually both. Many also fall into the category of topics that I have found difficult to dig out of the literature. The first volume was not written with the prospect of a second volume to follow. The reader will discover some topics that are redone here with more generality and originally could have been done at the same level of sophistication if the second volume had been envisioned at that time
