Abstract: Abstract The work of Abel on Abelian integrals created a particular theory of multivalued transcendental functions on the complex plane. This was a primary motivation for Riemann to create his theory of Riemann surfaces in 1857, which were multisheeted coverings of the complex plane where these functions of Abel (and other such functions) would become singlevalued functions. Riemann developed some of the important concepts of connectivity for these surfaces, which became part of the developments in algebraic topology of manifolds in general at the end of the century.
