Introduction to Complex Analysis

by H.A. Priestley

This book presents a straightforward and concise introduction to elementary complex analysis. The emphasis is on those aspects of the theory that are important in other branches of mathematics, and no prior knowledge of topology is assumed. Basic techniques are explained and the major theorems are presented, helping readers to gain an understanding of the theoretical as well as practical applications. In addition, this revised edition includes many exercises that will aid undergraduates wishing to gain a firm understanding of the subject.

[Tomás · Rating 3 out of 5]

A concise and well structured introduction to complex analysis with many examples. Some theorems are repeated and unclearly stated such as the deformation theorem which starts for a triangle and is then generalized. Some pictures and proofs are not explained and too many are left to the reader, making some chapters more of an annotated exposition of facts rather than an exploration of the deep insights and uses of the theorems in complex analysis. Overall: not the best introductory textbook, but probably enough for reviewing the main theorems and concisely getting up to speed with the subject.
