In 1967 Walter K. Hayman published 'Research Problems in Function
Theory', a list of 141 problems in seven areas of function theory.
In the decades following, this list was extended to include two
additional areas of complex analysis, updates on progress in
solving existing problems, and over 520 research problems from
mathematicians worldwide. It became known as 'Hayman's List'. This
Fiftieth Anniversary Edition contains the complete 'Hayman's List'
for the first time in book form, along with 31 new problems by
leading international mathematicians. This list has directed
complex analysis research for the last half-century, and the new
edition will help guide future research in the subject. The book
contains up-to-date information on each problem, gathered from the
international mathematics community, and where possible suggests
directions for further investigation. Aimed at both early career
and established researchers, this book provides the key problems
and results needed to progress in the most important research
questions in complex analysis, and documents the developments of
the past 50 years.

This is the autobiography of Walter Kurt Hayman. Born in Germany in
1926, he came to Britain in 1938 to escape the Nazis. Educated at
Gordonstoun School in Scotland and Cambridge, he was influenced by
Mary Cartwright and J. E. Littlewood. He was elected to the Royal
Society in 1956 and appointed Professor of Pure Mathematics at
Imperial College, London. For over 30 years there he ran a
world-famous school in Complex Analysis. He then spent 10 years at
York before returning to Imperial College, where he is a Senior
Research Fellow. He has received many prizes, awards and honorary
degrees. Twice widowed, he now lives in Gloucestershire with his
third wife, Marie. He gives a frank account of a life dominated by
mathematics, music, friendship, family and service. There are 15
photographs, and a full list of his 218 publications to date. An
index lists all persons mentioned in the text. This paperback
edition is designed to be as affordable as possible. A hard-cover
edition is also available.
Walter Hayman was born in Cologne, Germany in 1926, and was sent to

universities he was elected to the Royal Society in 1956 and
appointed Professor of Pure Mathematics at Imperial College,
London. For over 30 years he ran a famous school in Complex
Analysis, attracting mathematicians from all over the world. After
retiring, he then spent 10 years at York before returning to
