The third edition of this unique text remains accessible to students of engineering, physics and applied mathematics with varying mathematical backgrounds. Designed for a one or two-semester course in complex analysis, there is optional review material on elementary calculus.

  • Thorough coverage of applications and motivation of theory.
  • Accessible text with strong engineering applications.
  • A comprehensive solutions manual is available for professors, containing worked-out solutions to every problem in the book.
  • Instructor's Solutions Manual, available by request from your Addison-Wesley sales rep.
  • MATLAB exercises in almost every problem set.
  • Improved graphics, generated in many cases by MATLAB.
  • New topics: Hilbert Transform, gamma function, infinite products and a general increase in more advanced subjects.
  • More attention to history of mathematics as well as to recent developments.
