One of the first modern monographs on the theory of several complex variables, being different from other ones of the same period due to the extensive use of generalized functions.

A monograph on the theory of generalized functions written with an eye towards their applications to several complex variables and mathematical physics, as is customary for the Author: it is a substantial revision of the textbook (Vladimirov 1979).
gollark: Yes, I checked, it is. Titan is Saturn.
gollark: Ganymede is Jupiter's, right?
gollark: Or regular heptagons. But definitely, er, heptagons and hexagons of some kind.
gollark: Actually, I'm not sure if it's regular hexagons.
gollark: Hyperbolic geometry is some bizarre alternative geometry based on different axioms, in which you can have a tessellation (I missed an l earlier) of regular hexagons and heptagons.
