Requiring only a background in nonrigorous calculus,the book brings one from the basics of complex numbers through analytic functions through differential and integral complex calculus to graduate level topics like Julia and Mandelbrot sets and Runge's theorem. It also includes many applications to geometry and physics, such as Euclidean mappings and fluid dynamics. It also has a several discussions of Riemann surfaces.at different levels. An outstanding book. | |

| May 10, 2011 at 23:51 | comment | added | Saikat Biswas | 'Elementary Theory of Analytic Functions of One or Several Complex Variables' by Cartan is a far superior text. | |

| Mar 18, 2010 at 20:42 | comment | added | The Mathemagician | It is a complete mystery to me why people are still using this monstrosity. Actually,it's not-it's because Ahlfors was a God at Harvard and they're afraid of being struck down by lightening using anything else.I can think of at least a half a dozen texts now that are better then this one. | |
