Applied Complex Analysis with Partial Differential Equations

Rating:
Summary: A Very well written text
Review: This book is by far one of the best out there in the area of complex analysis. The author combined application with detailed proofs, giving the reader everything that he/she needs. A course with emphasis on applications can be easily planned out using this as the text. Similarly, if an instructor decides to focus more on proofs, the structure of this book allows this too. Simply put, this is the best out there.

You might also be wondering what I think of Churchill's text, as compared to this one. Yes I agree that it is also a good book. However Churchill's proofs are sometimes too hand-waving. Occassionally, I find Churchill using terms like "see exercise for details of this proof". Now, I really dislike this when author does this. This book by Asmar, rarely makes such comment and this therefore is also one of the reasons that I like about this book.

So trust me, if you want to learn about complex analysis, GET THIS BOOK!! Besides, the 2nd half the book talks about pdf, if you are an engineer and needs to deal with partial differential equations at work, this is a 2-IN-ONE text!!!!!

The book is worth every penny that I paid for!! Asmar ROCKS!!
