The study of complex variables is beautiful from a purely mathematical point
of view and provides a powerful tool for solving a wide array of problems
arising in applications. It is perhaps surprising that to explain real phenomena,
mathematicians, scientists, and engineers often resort to the “complex plane.”
In fact, using complex variables one can solve many problems that are either
very difficult or virtually impossible to solve by other means. The text provides
a broad treatment of both the fundamentals and the applications of this subject
