Handbook of Complex Variables - Steven G Krantz Kartoniert (TB)

This book is written to be a convenient reference for the working scientist student or engineer who needs to know and use basic concepts in complex analysis. It is not a book of mathematical theory. It is instead a book of mathematical practice. All the basic ideas of complex analysis as well as many typical applica­ tions are treated. Since we are not developing theory and proofs we have not been obliged to conform to a strict logical ordering of topics. Instead topics have been organized for ease of reference so that cognate topics appear in one place. Required background for reading the text is minimal: a good ground­ ing in (real variable) calculus will suffice. However the reader who gets maximum utility from the book will be that reader who has had a course in complex analysis at some time in his life. This book is a handy com­ pendium of all basic facts about complex variable theory. But it is not a textbook and a person would be hard put to endeavor to learn the subject by reading this book.
