Introduction to Complex Analysis

by Hilary A. Priestley

This book presents a concise introduction to elementary complex analysis. The theory is treated rigorously, but no prior knowledge of topology is assumed. The emphasis throughout is on those aspecsts of the theory which are important in other branches of mathematics. The basic techniques are explained, and the major theorems are presented in such a way as to enable the reader to appreciate both the practical and the theoretical applications of the subject. In this revised edition, the author has included numerous new exercises to help and consolidate a firm understanding of complex analysis.

[Tomás · Rating 3 out of 5]

A concise and well structured introduction to complex analysis with many examples. Some theorems are repeated and unclearly stated such as the deformation theorem which starts for a triangle and is then generalized. Some pictures and proofs are not explained and too many are left to the reader, making some chapters more of an annotated exposition of facts rather than an exploration of the deep insights and uses of the theorems in complex analysis. Overall: not the best introductory textbook, but probably enough for reviewing the main theorems and concisely getting up to speed with the subject.
