Format: Paperback
Mathematics is amazing not only in its power and beauty, but also in the way that it has applications in so many areas. The aim of this book is to stimulate young people to become interested in mathematics, to enthuse, inspire, and challenge them, their parents and their teachers with the wonder, excitement, power, and relevance of mathematics.

This book is a very well written introduction to the fascinating theory of complex numbers and it

contains a fine collection of excellent exercises ranging in difficulty from the fairly easy, if calculational, to the more challenging. As stated

by the authors, the targeted audience is not standard and it "includes high school students and their teachers,

undergraduates, mathematics contestants such as those training for Olympiads or the William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition, their coaches, and any person interested in essential mathematics."

The book is mainly devoted to complex numbers and to their wide applications in various fields, such as geometry, trigonometry or algebraic operations. An important feature of this marvelous book is that

it presents a wide range of problems of all degrees of difficulties, but also

that it includes easy proofs and natural generalizations of many theorems in elementary geometry.

The authors show how to approach the solution of such problems, emphasizing the use of methods rather than the mere use of formulas. Of course, the more sophisticated the problems become, the more specific this approach has to be chosen.

Format: Paperback
Actually I didn't buy this book but just download it from Stanford's library's website. Hopefully it's legal. I mean, it's Stanford's website, right? But I have to thank the author for writing such a great book. I didn't learn much about complex numbers in my high school, and don't feel comfortable with my college complex analysis textbook, so I got this book to build a firm foundation for my complex analysis class. As a Math major, I really love the way this book is written. It's so well-ordered (well, I didn't mean that well-ordered in Mathematics, you get the idea-_-), so clear and every step is backed by reasons. IT MAKES SENSES! Anyway, I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to take complex analysis because a lot of us don't have enough knowledge about complex numbers but the complex analysis class is based on the assumption that we are already masters of it.

Goes over the basics of complex numbers from A to Z and is absolutely loaded with examples and practice problems. I wish it was more proofs and less practice problems, but that's just a personal preference.

Good book, especially for introductory complex geometry. The theory of complex numbers is built up in black and white, no frills (i.e. don't expect to find any silly historical notes or color pictures typical of modern textbooks) and I have a feeling that the reader who even thinks about buying this book would prefer it this way. The mathematical exposition is generally concise, clear and rigorous.

The only problem with the book is the occasional error. But the only errors I have found are minor in the sense that 1)There are very few of them and 2)They are numeric (The process is correct but the answer is wrong because of some simple arithmetic mistake).
