"If you want to know what mathematicians like Gauss, Euler and Dirichlet were doing...this book could be for you. It fills in many historical gaps, in a story which is largely unknown...This book is the result of work done by a serious historian of mathematics...If you are intrigued by such topics studied years ago but now largely forgotten...then read this book." -The Mathematical Gazette (on the second edition) "...must reading for every serious student of nineteenth century mathematics...represents a substantial contribution toward filling what is generally acknowledged to be an immense gap in the historical literature." -ISIS (on the first edition) "One among the most interesting books on the history of mathematics... Very stimulating reading for both historians of modern mathematics and mathematicians as well." --Mathematical Reviews (on the first edition) "The book contains an amazing wealth of material relating to the algebra, geometry, and analysis of the nineteenth century....

Synopsis
This book is a study of how a particular vision of the unity of mathematics, often called geometric function theory, was created in the 19th century. The central focus is on the convergence of three mathematical topics: the hypergeometric and related linear differential equations, group theory, and on-Euclidean geometry. The text for this second edition has been greatly expanded and revised, and the existing appendices enriched with historical accounts of the Riemann-Hilbert problem, the uniformization theorem, Picard-Vessiot theory, and the hypergeometric equation in higher dimensions. The exercises have been retained, making it possible to use the book as a companion to mathematics courses at the graduate level.
