  This book presents a concise introduction to elementary complex analysis. The theory is treated rigorously, but no prior knowledge of topology is assumed. The emphasis throughout is on those aspecsts of the theory which are important in other branches of mathematics. The basic techniques are explained, and the major theorems are presented in such a way as to enable the reader to appreciate both the practical and the theoretical applications of the subject. In this revised edition, the author has included numerous new exercises to help and consolidate a firm understanding of complex analysis.

  Straightforward in concise, this introductory volume treats the theory rigorously but uses a minimum of sophisticated machinery and assumes no prior knowledge of topology. Priestley presents the major theorems as early as possible, so that those meeting complex analysis for the first time can appreciate the power and elegance of the subject by seeing applications of results, both practical and theoretical. A valuable resource for pure and applied mathematicians, this book is also suitable for graduate students and, as a reference, for engineers.
