This classic on the general history of functions was written by one of the 20th century's best-known mathematicians. Weyl combined function theory and geometry in this high-level landmark work, forming a new branch of mathematics and the basis of the modern approach to analysis, geometry, and topology. 1955 edition. Reprint of the Addison Wesley Publishing Company, Reading, Massachusetts, 1955 edition.
