In this way the reader may learn much about this area without encountering too many technical difficulties. Chapter 1 describes the fundamental notions and the phenomenon of simultaneous holomorphic extension. Chapter 2 presents a fairly complete discussion of biholomorphisms of bounded (complete) Reinhardt domains in the two dimensional case. The third chapter gives a classification of Reinhardt domains of existence for the most important classes of holomorphic functions. The last chapter deals with invariant functions and gives explicit calculations of many of them on certain Reinhardt domains. Numerous exercises are included to help the readers with their understanding of the material. Further results and open problems are added which may be useful as seminar topics. The primary aim of this book is to introduce students or non-experts to some of the main research areas in several complex variables. The book provides a friendly invitation to this field as the only prerequisite is a basic knowledge of analysis. 517 $aFirst Steps in Several Complex Variables 606 $aCalculus & mathematical analysis$2bicssc 606 $aSeveral complex variables and analytic spaces$2msc 615 07$aCalculus & mathematical analysis 615 07$aSeveral complex variables and analytic spaces 686 $a32-xx$2msc 700 $aJarnicki$b Marek$0726136 702 $aPflug$b Peter 801 0$bch0018173 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910151935303321 996 $aFirst Steps in Several Complex Variables: Reinhardt Domains$92565750 997 $aUNINA
