Description
Book SynopsisComplex variables provide powerful methods for attacking many difficult problems, and it is the aim of this book to provide a thorough grounding in these methods and their application. This 2003 edition was improved throughout and is ideal for use in undergraduate and introductory graduate courses in complex variables.
Trade Review'… an excellent text, and one of the most complete and well-written books on complex variables I have seen … The index is nicely composed, complete, and accurate … useful as a reference … I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the subject and have placed it prominently upon my reference bookshelf.' Duwayne Anderson, Optics and Photonics News

'Overall the book feels 'road-tested' both in the lecture theatre and in the crucible of research and the clear well-written text is complemented by a superb collection of worked examples and exercises ranging in scope from routine applications of techniques to more substantial illustrations of the theory.' The Mathematical Gazette
'… the book is valuable for students in engineering and physical sciences.' ZAMM
