I have yet to work through the book, but its place in Knopp's original five-volume sequence was not apparent from Amazon's or Dover's product descriptions, so I list the entire sequence here (Dover English editions, translated from the German originals), followed by the tables of contents, which I had difficulty finding in one place:
Volume 1:
Elements of the Theory of Functions
, ISBN-10: 0486601544, ISBN-13: 978-0486601540; this volume is cited as a prerequisite on page 1 the next volume. Unfortunately it is out of print but used copies (or substitutes) can be found.
Volumes 2 and 3 (the current book):
Theory of Functions, Parts I and II (Dover Books on Mathematics) (Pts. 1 & 2)
. ISBN-10: 0486692191, ISBN-13: 978-0486692197
Volumes 4 and 5:
Problem Book in the Theory of Functions (Dover Books on Mathematics)
. ISBN-10: 0486414515, ISBN-13: 978-0486414515.
