PICARD & SIMART, Théorie des Fonctions Algébriques de Deux Variables Indépendant

First edition.
Émile Picard (1856-1941), a member of the Institute and professor at the University of Paris, was a major French mathematician, and Georges Simart (1866-1937), frigate captain and répétiteur at the École Polytechnique. Their work Théorie des Fonctions Algébriques de Deux Variables Indépendantes (Theory of Algebraic Functions of Two Independent Variables) is a fundamental treatise on a complex area of analysis, where algebraic geometry and function theory meet. This book is considered a classic, having had a lasting influence on the development of complex analysis in several variables.
