Analytic Function Theory of Several Variables

The purpose of this book is to present the classical analytic function theory of several variables as a standard subject in a course of mathematics after learning the elementary materials (sets, general topology, algebra, one complex variable). This includes the essential parts of Grauert–Remmert's two volumes, GL227(236) ( Theory of Stein spaces ) and GL265 ( Coherent analytic sheaves ) with a lowering of the level for novice graduate students (here, Grauert's direct image theorem is limited to
