Beschreibung

This book provides a systematic introduction to functions of one complex variable. Its novel feature is the consistent use of special color representations - so-called phase portraits - which visualize functions as images on their domains.

Reading Visual Complex Functions requires no prerequisites except some basic knowledge of real calculus and plane geometry. The text is self-contained and covers all the main topics usually treated in a first course on complex analysis. With separate chapters on various construction principles, conformal mappings and Riemann surfaces it goes somewhat beyond a standard programme and leads the reader to more advanced themes.

In a second storyline, running parallel to the course outlined above, one learns how properties of complex functions are reflected in and can be read off from phase portraits. The book contains more than 200 of these pictorial representations which endow individual faces to analytic functions. Phase portraits enhance the intuitive understanding of concepts in complex analysis and are expected to be useful tools for anybody working with special functions - even experienced researchers may be inspired by the pictures to new and challenging questions.

Visual Complex Functions may also serve as a companion to other texts or as a reference work for advanced readers who wish to know more about phase portraits.

Über den Autor
Elias Wegert is a Professor of Mathematics at the Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg. His main research interests are in Complex and Nonlinear Analysis; he is the author of a book on nonlinear Riemann-Hilbert problems and their applications. Wegert has experience in mathematical teaching at different levels for about 30 years. He is also committed to mathematical competitions for high school students.
Zusammenfassung

First introduction to complex functions systematically using phase portraits (which are expected to become an indispensable tool for exploring complex functions in teaching, mathematical research and applications alike)

Reorganization of the traditional material covered by textbooks in complex analysis and emphasis on special aspects of the topic.

A companion to rather than a substitute for existing textbooks on complex analysis, although mostly self-contained

Enhances intuitive understanding of basic concepts and special functions by visualizing complex functions by phase portraits

Complete text equipped with color illustrations
