Few other books purport to be a second course in complex analysis. This book differs in that it covers more modern topics and is more geometric in focus. Most texts on complex variable theory contain the same material. However, complex analysis is a vast and diverse subject with a long history and many aspects. A second course will benefit students and introduce these new topics that they might not otherwise experience.

Lars Ahlfors alone invented many new parts of the subject; Lipman Bers made decisive contributions, and there are many others. It is easy to justify a “second course” in complex analysis. That is what this book purports to be.

Some of the topics presented here are:

harmonic measure
extremal length
Riemann surfaces
uniformization
automorphism groups
the Schwarz lemma and its generalizations
analytic capacity
the Bergman theory
invariant metrics
Picard’s theorem
the boundary Schwarz lemma

The goal is to expose the reader to unfamiliar parts of the subject of complex variables and perhaps to pique interest in further reading. As with the authors’ other books, not only theorems and proofs are included, but also many examples and some exercises. Numerous graphics illustrate the key ideas.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book.
