reference on complex dynamics Please someone suggest me some reference on the topic "Complex Dynamics". I want a brief geometric treatment from the root level. I have graduate level background on complex analysis, riemannian geometry and topology.
 A: Milnor's dynamics in one complex variable seems to be a popular choice.

A: With your background, the book by Milnor or by Beardon looks like a good choice. In addition to the references already suggested, there also are:
