The following lectures were given at the University of Maryland, U. S. A., in the year on complex analysis (1969-70) organized by the Department of Mathematics of that University. The visiting professorship conferred upon me during the Spring semester of 1970 was a great honor and an enriching experience, for which I am deeply grateful to the Department of Mathematics, especially to Professor J. K. Goldhaber, chairman, and Professor J. Horvath. To the latter I am also indebted for his friendly help and advice throughout my stay at the University of Maryland.

To him I dedi-

cate these lecture notes as a token of my wholehearted thankfulness.
