Overview

Revised and updated, the new Fifth Edition of Complex Analysis for Mathematics and Engineering presents a comprehensive, student-friendly introduction to Complex Analysis. Its clear, concise writing style and numerous applications make the foundations of the subject matter easily accessible for students and proofs are presented at an elementary level that is understood by students with a sophomore calculus background. Believing that mathematicians, engineers, and scientists should be exposed to a careful presentation of mathematics, attention to topics such as ensuring required assumptions are met before the use of a theorem or algebraic operations are applied. A new chapter on Z-Transforms and Applications provides students with a current look at Digital Filter Design and Signal Process.
