Function Theory on Planar Domains: A Second Course in Complex Analysis (Dover Books on Mathematics) Paperback – February 27, 2007

If there is one timeless area of mathematics we teach to our undergraduates and graduates alike, it is functions in the plane: This book brings out the beauty of the subject in a delightful way. The plane is where boundary theory is especially attractive and visual. The book is student friendly and includes a very nice selection of exercises.The first three chapters offer background, history, motivations and hints of applications. A great subject supplementing nicely courses in complex function theory, vector calculus, potential theory, mathematical methods in physics, and more.Selected topics: The Greens function, the Dirichlet problem, capacity, uniformization, self-mappings, Hardy spaces, theory of boundaries, Blaschke products, and H^p spaces. Review by Palle Jorgensen, February 2008.

The book is what it purports to be - essentially an advancedmonograph on the minutiae of complex function theory --it is not concerned with applications nor with easy access.The service was an unwelcome disappointment -- the book wasshipped via the second tier amazon fulfillment racket and lookedas it had been through a wrestling match -- it was listed as new and no advance notification was forthcoming about the switch.Very disconcerting for a long time customer.
