Several complex variables with connections to algebraic geometry and Lie groups

Most of the students in the graduate course from which Taylor (U. of Utah) developed this text were planning to specialize either in algebraic geometry or in the representational theory of semisimple Lie groups. He therefore simultaneously develops the fundamentals of both complex algebraic geometry and several complex variables, emphasizing the similarities in techniques of the two at the basic level.
