Reviews

From the reviews of the third edition:“The book of the known mathematicians J. Bak and D. Newman is an excellent introduction into the theory of analytic functions of one complex variable. The book is written on an elementary level and so it supports students in the early stages of their mathematical studies. … The book also contains many illustrations, examples and exercises, which give additional information and explanations.” (Konstantin Malyutin, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1205, 2011)
