Preface
Riemann surfaces appear in many branches of mathematics and physics, e.g. in differential and algebraic geometry and the theory of moduli spaces, in topological field theories, quantum chaos and integrable systems. The practical use of Riemann surface theory has been limited for a long time by the absence of efficient computational approaches. In recent years considerable progress has been achieved in the numerical treatment of Riemann surfaces which stimulated further research in the subject and led to new applications. The existing computational approaches follow from the various definitions of Riemann surfaces: via non-singular algebraic curves, as quotients under the action of Fuchsian or Schottky groups, or via polyhedral surfaces. It is the purpose of the present volume to give a coherent presentation of the existing or currently being developed computational approaches to Riemann surfaces. The authors of the contributions are representants from the groups providing publically available numerical codes in this field. Thus this volume illustrates which software tools are available and how they can be used in practice. In addition examples for solutions to partial differential equations and in surf
