Publisher: Springer, 2020

Synopsis

The book discusses major topics in complex analysis with applications to number theory. This book is intended as a text for graduate students of mathematics and undergraduate students of engineering, as well as to researchers in complex analysis and number theory. This theory is a prerequisite for the study of many areas of mathematics, including the theory of several finitely and infinitely many complex variables, hyperbolic geometry, two and three manifolds and number theory. In additional to solved examples and problems, the book covers most of the topics of current interest, such as Cauchy theorems, Picard’s theorems, Riemann–Zeta function, Dirichlet theorem, gamma function and harmonic functions.

About the Author

TARLOK NATH SHOREY is a distinguished professor at the National Institute of Advanced Studies (situated in the campus of the Indian Institute of Science), Bengaluru, India. Earlier, he taught at the Department of Mathematics, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, India. He also had been associated with the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai, India, for a period of 42 years. Professor Shorey has done numerous momentous works on transcendental number theory and Diophantine equation. In 1987, he was awarded the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology―the highest science award in India―in the Mathematical Sciences category. He has coauthored a book, Exponential Diophantine Equations, and has more than 142 research publications to his credit. He is fellow of the Indian National Science Academy (INSA), Indian Academy of Sciences (IASc) and The National Academy of Sciences (NASI).

From the Back Cover

The book discusses major topics in complex analysis with applications to number theory. This book is intended as a text for graduate students of mathematics, undergraduate students of engineering and researchers in fields of complex analysis and number theory. This theory is a prerequisite for the study of various areas of mathematics, including the theory of several finitely and infinitely complex variables, hyperbolic geometry, two- and three-manifolds, and number theory. In addition to solved examples and problems, the book covers most topics of current interest, such as Cauchy theorems, Picard’s theorems, Riemann–Zeta function, Dirichlet theorem, Gamma function, and harmonic functions.
