Abstract
The Riemann mapping theorem has been said by some to be the greatest theorem of the nineteenth century. The entire concept of the theorem is profoundly original, and its proof introduced many new ideas. Certainly normal families and the use of extremal problems in complex analysis are just two of the important techniques that have grown out of studies of the Riemann mapping theorem.
