9780821869017: Complex Variables (Pure and Applied Undergraduate Texts, 16)

Synopsis

Taylor (mathematics, U. of Utah) offers a textbook based on lecture notes from years of teaching a junior undergraduate one-semester course on complex variables. Students should have completed three semesters of calculus, had some linear algebra, and taken at least one semester of the foundations of analysis. The course is intended to link freshman and sophomore calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations, with the much more sophisticated senior level of mathematics. The book contains enough material for a full-year course. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Review

"[This] book presents topics in a logical way that allows the reader to build their intuition about the subject. [For] example, the elementary functions are defined in the first chapter. The first chapter then provides the reader with applications of the rectangular and polar coordinate forms of complex numbers and with examples to understand the properties of analytic and meromorphic functions developed in the subsequent chapters. The proofs of the major theorems follow the same logical and intuitive approach. The exercises are thoughtful and yet accessible to anyone with a sound understanding of multivariable calculus. This is an excellent book." ---- Peter Trombi, University of Utah
