Complex analysis : the hitchhiker's guide to the plane
Stewart,Ian
Complex analysis : the hitchhiker's guide to the plane - 1st - New York : Cambridge University Press, 1983. - viii, 290 pages : illustrations ;
Index
Preface; Acknowledgement; 1. The origins of complex analysis and a modern viewpoint; 2. Algebra of the complex plane; 3. Topology of the complex plane; 4. Power series; 5. Differentiation; 6. The exponential function; 7. Integration; 8. Angles, logarithms and the winding number; 9. Cauchy's theorem; 10. Homotopy versions of Cauchy's theorem; 11. Taylor series; 12. Laurent series; 13. Residues; 14. Conformal transformations; 15. Analytic continuation; Index.
This is a very successful textbook for undergraduate students of pure mathematics. Students often find the subject of complex analysis very difficult. Here the authors, who are experienced and well-known expositors, avoid many of such difficulties by using two principles: (1) generalising concepts familiar from real analysis; (2) adopting an approach which exhibits and makes use of the rich geometrical structure of the subject. An opening chapter provides a brief history of complex analysis which sets it in context and provides motivation.
