Approach This text is intended for undergraduate students in mathematics, physics, and engineering.

We have attempted to strike a balance between the pure and applied aspects of complex analysis and to
present concepts in a clear writing style that is understandable to students at the junior or senior
undergraduate level. A wealth of exercises that vary in both difficulty and substance gives the text
flexibility. Sufficient applications are included to illustrate how complex analysis is used in science and
engineering. The use of computer graphics gives insight for understanding that complex analysis is a
computational tool of practical value. The exercise sets offer a wide variety of choices for computational
skills, theoretical understanding, and applications that have been class tested for two editions of the
text. Student research projects are suggested throughout the text and citations are made to the
bibliography of books and journal articles. The purpose of the first six chapters is to lay the foundations
for the study of complex analysis and develop the topics of analytic and harmonic functions, the
elementary functions, and contour integration. If the goal is to study series and the residue calculus and
applications, then Chapters 7 and 8 can be covered. If conformal mapping and applications of harmonic
functions are desired, then Chapters 9 and 10 can be studied after Chapter 6. A new Chapter 11 on
Fourier and Laplace transforms has been added for courses that emphasize more applications. Proofs
are kept at an elementary level and are presented in a self-contained manner that is understandable for
students having a sophomore calculus background. For example, Green's theorem is included and it is
used to prove the Cauchy-Goursat theorem. The proof by Gou
