Includes index

Includes bibliography (p. 225-231) and references

Results from Riemann Surface Theory and Quasiconformal Mapping; Minimal Norm Properties for Holomorphic Quadratic Differentials; The Reich-Strebel Inequality for Fuchsian Groups; Density Theorems for Quadratic Differentials; Teichmuller Theory; Teichmuller's Theorem; Teichmuller's and Kobayashi's Metrics; Discontinuity of the Modular Group; Holomorphic Self-Mappings of Teichmuller Space; Quadratic Differentials with Closed Trajectories; Measured Foliations

This book lends itself as a text and reference on the theory of Teichmuller space, a topic in complex analysis, both important and central to mathematics and increasingly so to computer scientists and physicists.
