Complex Variables with Applications - David A. Wunsch ... mathematics with varying mathematical backgrounds. Designed for the one-semester course in complex analysis, there is optional review for students who have only studied calculus and differential equations. New features of this edition include: wider breadth of topic coverage; improved exercise and problem sets; strong, up-to- date engineering applications; and more thorough coverage of applications and motivation of theory.

... function of a complex variable has a first derivative then it has all the higher derivatives as well - something that is not the case in standard calculus. Ok then - on to the book itself. First of all it is written with Physicists and Engineers in mind which in my opinion makes it a lot easier to read then texts written for mathematicians. Saying that though I think mathematicians would also find it very suitable as it is quite rigorous and offers full proofs of all of the theorems presented (it is also on the reading...more

Warning: This opinion is written for people who are doing degree courses, or equivalent, in maths or physics and are about to take courses in complex analysis. The subject of 'Complex Analysis' usually forms part of the core for maths degrees and often turns up in mathematical physics courses as well so if you are studying either of these, then the chances are that you will come across it sooner or later. I am working towards a Phd in physics and have found that this subject is of incredible use in what I will be doing in the future. So what is complex analysis you may ask? Well to start off with it doesn't mean hard or difficult ... Read the complete review
