This book has as its subject the boundary value theory of holomorphic
functions in several complex variables, a topic that is just now coming
to the forefront of mathematical analysis. For one variable, the topic
is classical and rather well understood. In several variables, the
necessary understanding of holomorphic functions via partial
differential equations has a recent origin, and Professor Stein's book,
which emphasizes the potential-theoretic aspects of the boundary value
problem, should become the standard work in the field.

The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand
technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from
the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions
preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting
them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the
Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich
scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by
Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
