Complex Analysis de Joseph Bak - Joseph Bak

. .

Résumé :
This unusually lively textbook introduces the theory of analytic functions, explores its diverse applications and shows the reader how to harness its powerful techniques. The book offers new and interesting motivations for classical results and introduces related topics that do not appear in this form in other texts. For the second edition, the authors have revised some of the existing material and have provided new exercises and solutions. The third edition contains a new section on Schwarz-Christoffel mappings, an improved treatment of the Schwarz Reflection Principle, and an expanded section on applications to number theory.

From the reviews of the third edition: The book of the known mathematicians J. Bak and D. Newman is an excellent introduction into the theory of analytic functions of one complex variable. The book is written on an elementary level and so it supports students in the early stages of their mathematical studies. ... The book also contains many illustrations, examples and exercises, which give additional information and explanations. (Konstantin Malyutin, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1205, 2011)
