The theory of functions of a complex variable, also called for brevity complex variables or complex analysis, is one of the most beautiful as well as useful branches of mathematics. Although originating in an atmosphere of mystery, suspicion and distrust, as evidenced by the terms "imaginary" and "complex" present in the literature, it was finally placed on a sound foundation in the 19th century through the efforts of Cauchy, Riemann, Weierstrass, Gauss and other great mathematicians.
Today the subject is recognized as an essential part of the mathematical background of engineers, physicists, mathematicians and other scientists. From the theoretical viewpoint this is because many mathematical concepts become clarified and unified when examined in the light of complex variable theory. From the applied viewpoint the theory is of tremendous value in the solution of problems of heat flow, potential theory, fluid mechanics, electromagnetic theory, aerodynamics, elasticity and many other fields of science and engineering.
This book is designed for use as a supplement to all current standard texts or as a textbook for a formal course in complex variable theory and applications. It should also be of considerable value to those taking courses in mathematics, physics, aerodynamics, elasticity or any of the numerous other fields in which complex variable methods are employed.
