Items related to Introduction to Complex Analysis
This textbook is an introduction to the classical theory of functions of a complex variable. The author's aim is to explain the basic theory in an easy-to-understand and careful way. He emphasizes geometrical considerations and, to avoid topological difficulties associated with complex analysis, begins by deriving Cauchy's integral formula in a topologically simple case and then deduces the basic properties of continuous and differentiable functions. The general versions of Cauchy's Theorem and integral formula are proved in Chapter 2. The remainder of the book deals with conformal mappings, analytic continuation, and Riemann's Mapping Theorem. The presentation here is very full and detailed. The book is profusely illustrated and includes many examples. Problems are collected together at the end of the book. It should be an ideal text for first courses in complex analysis.

Review:
'While most of the material included in the first part could be used in a basic course on complex analysis, the whole book could serve as a text for an advanced course on Riemann surfaces. The book contains many pictures (helping to build geometric intuition) and problems (elementary and advanced). The book could be very helpful for students as well as for experts in the field.'
