Introduction to Complex Analysis
Share this pageMichael E. Taylor
In this text, the reader will learn that all the basic functions that
arise in calculus—such as powers and fractional powers, exponentials
and logs, trigonometric functions and their inverses, as well as many
new functions that the reader will meet—are naturally defined for
complex arguments. Furthermore, this expanded setting leads to a much
richer understanding of such functions than one could glean by merely
considering them in the real domain. For example, understanding the
exponential function in the complex domain via its differential
equation provides a clean path to Euler's formula and hence to a
self-contained treatment of the trigonometric functions. Complex
analysis, developed in partnership with Fourier analysis, differential
equations, and geometrical techniques, leads to the development of a
cornucopia of functions of use in number theory, wave motion,
conformal mapping, and other mathematical phenomena, which the reader
can learn about from material presented here.
This book could serve for either a one-semester course or a
two-semester course in complex analysis for beginning graduate
students or for well-prepared undergraduates whose background includes
multivariable calculus, linear algebra, and advanced calculus.
