Introduction to Complex Analysis

Cover
OUP Oxford, 28.08.2003 - 344 Seiten
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 setshave 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 forPattern Recognition, Gelman and Nolan: Teaching Statistics.

Seite vii - The power and significance of Cauchy's theorem — the centrepiece of complex analysis — is, I believe, best revealed initially through its applications.
Seite viii - Albert for their help with proof-reading, and to the staff of the Oxford University Press for encouraging me to write the book and for their assistance during its production.
