Complex variables is a precise, elegant, and captivating subject.
Presented from a geometric analytical viewpoint, this work addresses
advanced topics in complex analysis that verge on modern areas of
research, with an understanding and explanation of their interrelations
with other important parts of mathematics. This methodically designed
book contains a rich collection of exercises, examples, and
illustrations within each individual chapter, concluding with an
extensive bibliography of monographs, research papers, and a thorough
index. Seeking to capture the imagination of advanced undergraduate and
graduate students with a basic background in complex analysis--and also
to spark the interest of seasoned workers in the field--the book imparts
a solid education both in complex analysis and in how modern mathematics
works.
