Excerpt from Functions of a Complex Variable
As these students often do not intend to specialize in mathe matics, many topics which might properly find a place in a first course in the function theory have not been treated; for example, Riemann's surfaces. On the other hand the author, having in mind the needs of students of applied mathematics, has dwelt at some length on the theory of linear differential equations, especially as regards the functions of Legendre, Laplace, Bessel, and Lame. As a splendid application of the principles of the function theory and also on account of their intrinsic value, three chapters have been devoted to the elliptic functions.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers an introduction to the theory of functions of a complex variable, an essential mathematical tool with broad applications across physics, astronomy, and engineering. The author begins by reviewing arithmetical operations on complex numbers, then explores the fundamentals of convergence and divergence in the context of series with complex terms. These ideas are extended to functions of a complex variable, leading to discussions on topics like Cauchy's integral theorem and the residue theorem, through which the work develops a solid framework for further study. The author places significant emphasis on the geometric aspects of the subject, offering a visualization of complex numbers and functions that makes intricate concepts more accessible. This geometric approach is particularly valuable in fostering a deep understanding of complex analysis and its applications. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
