Tata Lectures on Theta I

by David Mumford, C. Musili (Contributor), M. Nori (Contributor)

This volume is the first of three in a series surveying the theory of theta functions. Based on lectures given by the author at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in Bombay, these volumes constitute a systematic exposition of theta functions, beginning with their historical roots as analytic functions in one variable (Volume I), touching on some of the beautiful ways they can be used to describe moduli spaces (Volume II), and culminating in a methodical comparison of theta functions in analysis, algebraic geometry, and representation theory (Volume III).

I managed to get this for very little on the 'zon.
There are three volumes and it's material I want to know cold before
the end of my 4os.
