DESCRIPTION:
As good of an introduction as anything else Never before have I began reading a book more predisposed to hate it. Generally, I like to read math books that are slim because I feel that it forces the author to get right to the heart of the material as quickly as possible. I also like my math books to have a rigid structure of formal proofs surrounded by . Outstanding book: very clear, covers a great deal of material too Alexander C. Zorach This is the closest I come to a favourite book on Complex Analysis. It wins on clarity, amount of material covered, and the order in which topics are presented.Gamelin's writing is very clear and he provides a lot of motivation and discussion; his proofs are easy to follow, and the book has a healthy dose of g. Not my taste Although I can see what others might like in this book, I did not care for it. (To be fair, I am not sure how much of this is the book's fault and how much is the fault of the subject.) I was looking for something a bit more mathematical, and more along the lines of (say) Rudin's real analysis, and instead thi
The book is based on lectures given by the author at several universities, including UCLA, Brown University, La Plata, Buenos Aires, and the Universidad Autonomo de Valencia, Spain.. The remaining five chapters are designed to complete the coverage of all background necessary for passing PhD qualifying exams in complex analysis. Throughout, exercises range from the very simple to the challenging. It contains sixteen chapters, the first eleven of which are aimed at an upper division undergraduate audience. Topics studied include Julia sets and the Mandelbrot set, Dirichlet series and the prime number theorem, and the uniformization theorem for Riemann surfaces, with emphasis placed on the three geometries: spherical, euclidean, and hyperbolic.

I can certainly recommend this book to all those who wish to experience (in the author??'s own words) the ???fascinating and wonderful world??? of complex analysis, ???filled with broad avenues and narrow backstreets leading to intellectual excitement.???"
