Product Description:
This unusually lively textbook on complex variables introduces the theory of analytic functions, explores its diverse applications and shows the reader how to harness its powerful techniques. 'Complex Analysis' offers new and interesting motivations for classical results and introduces related topics that do not appear in this form in other texts. Stressing motivation and technique, and complete with exercise sets, this volume may be used both as a basic text and as a reference. For this second edition, the authors have revised some of the existing material and have provided new exercises and solutions.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Excellent Introduction to Complex Analysis
If you want to learn Complex Analysis, start with Schaum's Outlines. Then when you want to learn the methods and thinking of complex analysis, read this book. It's concise and gets the MAIN POINTS across in a friendly way.
Except for the topological stuff (they simplify things to avoid lengthy tedious discussion) this book is EXCELLENT. I disagree with the reviewers who said this book deals with things in too elementary a way. In fact it gives more general results and the REAL reasons ... Read More
Rating: - Good book
This book is excelent for a basic Complex Analysis course. It is very well writen, and the examples help you to understand the theorems. The book doesnt have to much solved examples, sometimes you need them.
I recommned to the complex Analysis book writen by Palka.
Rating:  - Hard to follow, not comprehensive enough
This book is disappointing, especially after encountering Newman's "Analytic Number Theory", which is a wonderful book. This book takes the readers on a concise, linear journey through Complex analysis to a few key theorems at the end, but does not do justice to the richness or diversity of the subject. This book will be especially lacking to students studying complex analysis for purposes related to applied mathematics.
The prose in the book is clear, but at times, as early as chapters ... Read More
Rating: - perhaps the best introduction to complex analysis
This is the book that really made me understand basic complex analysis. It doesn't try to give the most sophisticated or slickest presentation for experts. Instead, it gives a beautiful, concrete, down to earth explanations. The best feature is the applications. D. J. Newman is one of the world's great problem solvers, and this book includes numerous examples of how to use complex analysis to solve problems in surprising ways. Even in the more standard applications, such as summing series, the book ... Read More
Rating: - Not enough for getting a complete perspective.
My comment refers to the third edition of this book, but I don't think the fourth could be much better.
First of all, this title shouldn't be included in the "Graduate Texts in Mathematics" series because the material it covers is covered in introductory undergraduate courses. Second, eventhough the author made a great effort to include as much topics as he could, the treatment of most of them is highly old-fashioned. I mean, he pays no attention to the most recent and elegant refinements ... Read More
