Trade ReviewFrom the reviews of the second edition:
“The book under review is a second edition of a book by the same authors and with the same title, also published by Springer in 2007. It contains some amount of new information. … The book is carefully written and each chapter has an interesting list of exercises. I found it very useful as am Undergraduate and Graduate Text in Mathematics.” (José M. Ansemil, The European Mathematical Society, euro-math-soc.eu, January, 2014)
From the reviews:
“The book is written in a clear and easily readable manner, completed with a well cared selection of exercises. The book, which is certainly useful for all specialists and lecturers in complex analysis, I also recommend to beginners in this area.” (Fernando Perez-Gonzalez, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1262, 2013)
"This is a fairly conventional text for a first course in complex analysis. It is an interesting mix of the concrete and the abstract, and of the formulaic and the geometric. It has good exercises … . It is nominally a graduate text (it is in Springer’s series of Graduate Texts in Mathematics) … . The book covers all the usual topics for a first course and includes a lot of advanced topics … ." (Allen Stenger, MathDL, February, 2008)
"This book is based on the original courses of Complex Analysis that was delivered by the well-known American specialist and lecturer in Analysis, Professor Lipman Bers. … the book is written in a clear and easily readable manner. … this book is useful for all specialists and lecturers in Complex Analysis … and also all specialists who deal with applications of Complex Analysis. I also recommend this book to beginners who want to study Complex Analysis … ." (Peter Zabreiko, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1139 (17), 2008)
