This book organizes the basic material of complex analysis in a unique manner. The first part of the book is a study of the many equivalent ways of understanding the concept of analyticity. The many ways of formulating the concept ofan analytic function are summarized in what we term the Fundamental Theorem for functions of a complex variable. The organization of these conditions into a single unifying theorem is a hallmark of Bers's mathematical style with an emphasis on clarity and elegance. Here it provides a conceptual framework for results that are highly technical and often computational. The framework comes from an insight that, once articulated, will drive the subsequent mathematics and lead to new results. In the second part, the text proceeds to a leisurely exploration of interesting ramifications of the main concepts. Covers vast majority of the material needed for a beginning graduate level course on complex analysis. Elegant and economical treatment of complex analysis. Provides many ways of understanding the concept of analyticity. Material of interest to computer scientists, physicists and engineers.
