Complex Analysis Reading List

Mth 514-515-516 Bent Petersen

Here is a list of few books dealing with complex analysis and related ideas. It is not a comprehensive list. It just happens to be what I had conveniently available when I made the list. From time to time I may refer to some of them. I expect that you may find [10], [11], [37], [9] and [1] most useful for Mth 514/5/6.

I recommend you look at [31] even though it is not particularly well suited for our Complex Analysis course. It is an exceptionally interesting and entertaining book from which you can learn a great deal about complex analysis.
