Complex Analysis

This book discusses a variety of topics in mathematics and engineering as well as their applications, clearly explaining the mathematical concepts in the simplest possible way and illustrating them with a number of solved examples.

In the pages that follow there are: A. A revised and enlarged version of Problems in analysis (PIA) . (All typographical, stylistic, and mathematical errors in PIA and known to the writer have been corrected.) B. A new section COMPLEX ANALYSIS containing problems distributed among many of the principal topics in the theory of functions of a complex variable. C. A total of 878 problems and their solutions.

Complex Analysis with Applications in Science and Engineering weaves together theory and extensive applications in mathematics, physics and engineering. In this edition there are many new problems, revised sections, and an entirely new chapter on analytic continuation. This work will serve as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in the areas noted above.

From the reviews of the first printing, published as Volume 7 of the Encyclopaedia of Mathematical Sciences:
"…… In this volume, we find an introductory essay entitled "Remarkable Facts of Complex Analysis" by Vitushkin… This is followed by articles by G.M.Khenkin on integral formulas in complex analysis, by E.M.Chirka on complex analytic sets, by Vitushkin on the geometry of hypersurfaces and by P.Dolbeault, on the theory of residues in several variables. … In sum, the volume under review is the first quarter of an important work that surveys an active branch of modern mathematics. Some of the individual articles are reminiscent in style of the early volumes of the first Ergebnisse series and will probably prove to be equally useful as a reference; all contain substantial lists of references."
Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society, 1991 "… This remarkable book has a helpfully informal style, abundant motivation, outlined proofs followed by precise references, and an extensive bibliography; it will be an invaluable reference and a companion to modern courses on several complex variables."
