Add to basketThis is not a college textbook. With a college textbook and course, you are expected to develop the skills to independently prove a medium-difficult complex analysis theorem. Our goal here is more modest. After studying this book, you should have the skills to read, follow, and understand someone else's proof of a complex analysis theorem.
My first published book is A Study of Bernhard Riemann’s 1859 Paper. In Riemann’s famous paper, he makes several important advances in mathematics and speculates (the "Riemann Hypothesis") about the location of the zeros of the Zeta function. My Riemann book is intended to bring an understanding of Riemann's paper to a wider audience by bridging the gap between John Derbyshire’s excellent but less technical book, Prime Obsession, and Harold Edward's excellent but highly technical book, Riemann’s Zeta Function.
To advance your knowledge beyond Derbyshire’s book, you must have a good understanding of complex analysis (call it knowledge at the "hobbyist" level). Several people have said they want to get to the "hobbyist" level so they can better understand my Riemann book. However, when they look at Ahlfors and other well-known (400+ page) textbooks on complex analysis, it feels like a mountain just a little too high to climb. This book is intended to help you advance to the "hobbyist" level.In this book, we develop much of the central theory of complex analysis, using standard/classic proofs. In our version of those proofs, we provide enough detail so the reader can follow the proofs (without outside help) from beginning to end. At the end of each chapter, we demonstrate what was learned, either with proofs of supplemental theorems or with exercises for the reader. We provide answers to all exercises in the book Appendix.
Chapters 1 through 6 are the warm-up, with important definitions and with a review of familiar concepts (and an extension of those concepts to the complex plane). Chapters 7 through 13 are the heart of the book, where we study the central theorems of complex function theory, from Cauchy's Integral Theorem through the Residue Theorem. We end with a chapter on the Argument Principle, which Riemann used to determine the number of zeros of the Zeta function inside a region of height T in the critical strip."About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.

The cancellation period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us, ICTBooks, 918 N Santa Fe, 67214, Wichita, Kansas, U.S.A., +1 3162072355, of your decision to cancel this contract by a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by post, fax or e-mail). You may use the attached model cancellation form, but it is not obligatory. You can also electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". If you use this option, we will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a cancellation on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired.

If you cancel this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel with contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to us or ICTBooks, 918 N Santa Fe, 67214, Wichita, Kansas, U.S.A., +1 3162072355, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your cancellation from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of cancellation
The right of cancellation does not apply to:
