Kunihiko Kodaira's influence in mathematics has been fundamental and
international, and his efforts have helped lay the foundations of modern
complex analysis. These three volumes contain Kodaira's written
contributions, published in a large number of journals and books between
1937 and 1971. The volumes cover chronologically the major periods of
Kodaira's mathematical concentration and reflect his collaboration with
other prominent theoreticians.
The next major period, the classification of compact, complex analytic
surfaces, forms the subject of Volume III and is a natural sequel to the
papers on variation of complex structure.
Originally published in 1975.
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.
