Content

 We shall cover the basic theory of holomorphic functions of several variables.
Historically, there have been five different approaches to their study, each one being useful
for different sorts of questions. These are methods of power series, integral kernels, sheaf theory,
d-bar, and operator theory. We shall try to give the flavor of all five methods.

Basis for Grading

Grades are based on attendance and class participation.
