Description
Book SynopsisAn introduction to complex variable methods for scientists and engineers, with a high proportion of the book devoted to applications to physical problems. Now containing even more exercises with solutions, it is highly suitable for those wishing to learn the elements of complex analysis in an applied context.
Trade Review'This text achieves a mixture of rigour and application that is not found in many books on complex variable theory. I think this is an advantage, allowing one to acquire the best of both mathematical precision alongside applications to physics and engineering … This must surely appeal to a wide range of learning styles and ensure a greater understanding for anyone who chooses to read this text.' W. Joyce, Contemporary Physics
'… this book if acquired is bound to be consulted frequently on any time frame because of its breadth, versatility, completeness and mix of theory with applications.' W. Joyce, Contemporary Physics
'… clear and comprehensible …' Bulletin of the Belgian Mathematical Society
'The book is just right for students learning the elements of function theory in an applied context.' Zeitschrift für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik
