Abstract
THIS pleasant and moderately priced little book forms an excellent introduction to the complex variable. It is written in a brisk and lucid style, and may be confidently recommended to students of pure or applied mathematics. It will appeal in particular to those who wish to understand the mechanism of conformal transformation. The titles of the Hve chapters are: functions of a complex variable ; conformal representation ; some special transformations ; complex integral calculus ; calculus of residues.
