HILBERT, DAVID (1862 - 1943). Theorie der Functionen einer Complexen Variablen. Gottingen: 1896-1897.

These lecture notes on partial differential equations and the theory of a complex variable, were taken by an unidentified student in 1895-1896 and 1896-1897, when Gottingen was becoming the center of the mathematical universe, and David Hilbert was becoming the mathematical center of Gottingen.

Most of the best American mathematics students in that era did at least part of their graduate studies in Europe.
