Description
Book SynopsisThe idea of complex numbers dates back at least 300 yearsto Gauss and Euler, among others. Today complex analysis is a central part of modern analytical thinking. It is used in engineering, physics, mathematics, astrophysics, and many other fields. It provides powerful tools for doing mathematical analysis, and often yields pleasing and unanticipated answers.
This book makes the subject of complex analysis accessible to a broad audience. The complex numbers are a somewhat mysterious number system that seems to come out of the blue. It is important for students to see that this is really a very concrete set of objects that has very concrete and meaningful applications.
Features:
- This new edition is a substantial rewrite, focusing on the accessibility, applied, and visual aspect of complex analysis
- This book has an exceptionally lar
