Complex Variables

Taylor (mathematics, U. of Utah) offers a textbook based on lecture notes from years of teaching a junior undergraduate one-semester course on complex variables. Students should have completed three semesters of calculus, had some linear algebra, and taken at least one semester of the foundations of analysis. The course is intended to link freshman and sophomore calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations, with the much more sophisticated senior level of mathematics. The book contains enough material for a full-year course. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
