On Riemann's Theory of Algebraic Functions and Their Integrals: a Supplement to the Usual Treatises Felix Klein

German mathematician FELIX KLEIN (1849-1925), a great teacher and scientific thinker, significantly advanced the field of mathematical physics and made a number of profound discoveries in the field of geometry. In his scholarly supplement to Riemann's complex mathematical theory, rather than offer proofs in support of the theorem, Klein chose to offer this exposition and annotation, first published in 1893, in an effort to broaden and deepen understanding. This approach makes Klein's commentary an essential element of any mathematics scholar's library.
