Goursat, Edouard. Functions of a Complex Variable (A Course of Mathematical Analysis, Volume II, Part I). Translated by Earle Raymond Hedrick and Otto Dunkel. Boston: Ginn and Company, 1916.

Being published in 1916, it is believed that this book is out of copyright in the United States as of 2011, and hence in other jurisdictions whose copyright laws conform to the Berne Convention. The electronic files here are dedicated to the public domain in all jurisdictions where the original is not subject to copyright, and all separate exclusive rights to any of them are expressly denied in any other jurisdiction.

For some thoughts on the continuing value of old textbooks see here.

The version here was typeset from a copy belonging to the Mathematics Department of the University of Toronto, which contains a pasted-in paper with a statement to the following effect:

The William Lowell Putnam Memorial Intercollegiate Prize, Mathematics, 1938, won for University of Toronto by Albert John Coleman, Irving Kaplansky, Nathan Saul Mendelsohn.

I have made a conscientious effort to follow not just the text but the typesetting of the original. A few deviations (mostly related to splitting of displays across multiple lines, which was necessary on the smaller page size of the original but would be out of place in the letter-sized formatting here) are noted in the comments in the TeX file. The original pagination has not been preserved but the original page numbers are indicated in the margins and headers. The Index has been regenerated. Page numbers in the Contents and Index refer to the numbers in this document, not the original.

Notices of typographical errors can be sent to ncarruth@math.toronto.edu and will be gratefully received.
