The theory of functions of a complex variable, also called brevity complex variables, essential background for engineers, physicists, mathematicians & other scientists for solution of problems in heat flow, potential theory, fluid mechanics, electromagnetic theory, aerodynamics, elasticity & many other fields of science and engineering.
It's like a textbook which doesn't provide you with all the theories that can make you understand the terms. Students will need the help of another one. It provides additional practice problems with answers. So, one can use this as a practice book.
But this book did not help me so much. That's why 2 stars.
Best book for a beginner on Complex Analysis (Complex variables). The definitions and proofs are clear, short and beautiful. The examples and solved exercises are great. I wish there were more books on advanced math like this one. My knowledge on calculus (with real numbers) was good. However, my background on imaginary and complex numbers was pretty weak. This book was a huge help.
Short and pretty much exactly what you'd expect. Assumes familiarity with (real) calculus; in fact, quite a lot of it is just real calculus repeated with less explanation and some footnotes. I'm sad it didn't really touch on complex dynamics at all.
A good book to start teaching yourself about the subject (if unfamiliar). I think learning from doing the exercises really helps, it's like using training wheels. Still I would recommend to pick another book of only complex theory to accompany this one.
You learn a lot with this book. There are solved problems that help you to understand, and there are exercises with which you can practice. Highly recommended.
