References, various:
Bobenko's Cpt Riem Surfaces (; quite good, in general: )
line bundles short and well-done
Fermat curves start with section 4, and then go to sec 3
a Math Review of a wonderful French text on the Uniformisation theorem
a partial list of various other references I've been consulting.
Teleman's notes - thx Alejandro B-D
: Mobius transformations the Oscar-winning movie
Sheaf-theory, line bundles Guiding principle: [s] = D where s is a section of line bundle corresponding to the divisor D.
on the Klein Quartic :
Klein's quartic: by Matsieva (my favorite and closest to the history), by Egan and Baez , and an entire book: The Eightfold Way: the Beauty of Klein's Quartic Curve, MSRI Research Publications 35, Cambridge U. Press, Cambridge 1999. More links
Hyperbolic tilings (interactive)
Angels, Devils, 90-45-45 tri's (Escher)
genus 2 curves arising as modular curves

Inversion through circle
A deal with the Devil



just kind of hanging leftovers:
SYLLABUS : bimonthly HW Hand in a solved problem every other week. (folder needs updating R !)
Each student is expected to give a presentation of 20 to 40 min in length. Here are some possible topics for talks.
