Preface This book is based on my lectures on quasiregular mappings in the euclidean nspace R n given at the University of Helsinki in 1986. It is assumed that the reader is familiar with basic real analysis or with some basic facts about quasiconformal mappings (an excellent reference is pp. 1-50 in J. Viiisiilii's book [V7]), but otherwise I have tried to make the text as self-contained and easily accessible as possible. For the reader's convenience and for the sake of easy reference I have included without proof most of those results from [V7] which will be exploited here. I have also included a brief review of those properties of Mobius transformations in R n which will be used throughout. In order to make the text more useful for students I have included nearly a hundred exercises, which are scattered throughout the book. They are of varying difficulty, with hints for solution provided for some. For specialists in the field I have included a list of open problems at the end of the book
