Introduction to Complex Analysis

About this book

Complex analysis is a classic and central area of mathematics, which is studied and exploited in a range of important fields, from number theory to engineering. "Introduction to Complex Analysis" was first published in 1985, and for this much awaited second edition the text has been considerably expanded, while retaining the style of the original. More detailed presentation is given of elementary topics, to reflect the knowledge base of current students. Exercise sets have been substantially revised and enlarged, with carefully graded exercises at the end of each chapter.

This is the latest addition to the growing list of Oxford undergraduate textbooks in mathematics, which includes: "Biggs: Discrete Mathematics" 2nd Edition, Cameron: "Introduction to Algebra", Needham: "Visual Complex Analysis", Kaye and Wilson: "Linear Algebra", Acheson: "Elementary Fluid Dynamics", Jordan and Smith: "Nonlinear Ordinary Differential Equations", Smith: "Numerical Solution of Partial Differential Equations", Wilson: "Graphs, Colourings and the Four-Colour Theorem", Bishop: "Neural Networks for Pattern Recognition", Gelman and Nolan: "Teaching Statistics".
