Title: Uniqueness Theorems for Holomorphic Mappings

Abstract:

We study sets of uniqueness, both in the interior and on the boundary,
for a holomorphic mapping.  New results are presented, both in one and
several complex variables.  A new Schwarz lemma on the boundary is
developed.  Reasonable background for the listener is a semester of
complex analysis (remembered only vaguely).  A reasonably benign
attitude towards the lecturer will serve as a good substitute.
