Reseña del libro "Theory of Function of Complex Variables: Advanced Mathematics (en Inglés)"
This is a revised edition of the chapter on Complex Variables, which was published few years ago in Part II of My Personal Study Notes in Advanced Mathematics. In this edition, I reproduced, refined, and enhanced all the calculations and graphics in a modern style of representation. In addition, I re-typed the cursive scripts of the personal notes and edited the typographic errors. In the editing process, I added plenty of comments on the underlying meanings of the arcane equations, such that the reader could discern the practical weight of each mathematical formula. In a way, I attempted to convey a personal sense and feeling on the significance and philosophy of devising a mathematical equation that transcends into real-life emulation. When equations deviate clearly from traditional algebraic patterns, I attempted to help the reader to understand how non-algebraic problems could be solved graphically and through programmed numerical iteration. The reader will find this edition dense with graphic illustrations, made even for the simplest configurations that should spare the reader the trouble of searching other references in order to infer any missing steps. In my view, detailed graphic illustrations could sooth the harshness of arcane mathematical jargon, as well as expose the merits of the assumptions contemplated in the formulation. In lieu of offering a dense textbook on Complex Variables, I opted to stick to my personal notes that give the memorable zest of a subject that could easily fade away in the mind when not frequently used 1.
