This volume studies the dynamics of iterated holomorphic
mappings from a Riemann surface to itself, concentrating on the
classical case of rational maps of the Riemann sphere. This subject
is large and rapidly growing. These lectures are intended to
introduce some key ideas in the field, and to form a basis for
further study. The reader is assumed to be familiar with the
rudiments of complex variable theory and of two-dimensional
differential geometry, as well as some basic topics from topology.
This third edition contains a number of minor additions and
improvements: A historical survey has been added, the definition of
Lattes map has been made more inclusive, and the ecalle-Voronin
theory of parabolic points is described. The residu iteratif is
studied, and the material on two complex variables has been
expanded. Recent results on effective computability have been
added, and the references have been expanded and updated.
Written in his usual brilliant style, the author makes
difficult mathematics look easy. This book is a very accessible
source for much of what has been accomplished in the field."
