Introduction to Complex Analysis From the reviews of the first printing published as Volume 7 of the Encyclopaedia of Mathematical Sciences: ... In this volume we find an introductory essay entitled Remarkable Facts of Complex Analysis by Vitushkin.. This is followed by articles by G.M.Khenkin on integral formulas in complex analysis by E.M.Chirka on complex analytic sets by Vitushkin on the geometry of hypersurfaces and by P.Dolbeault on the theory of residues in several variables. .. In sum the volume under review is the first quarter of an important work that surveys an active branch of modern mathematics. Some of the individual articles are reminiscent in style of the early volumes of the first Ergebnisse series and will probably prove to be equally useful as a reference; all contain substantial lists of references. Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society 1991 .. This remarkable book has a helpfully informal style abundant motivation outlined proofs followed by precise references and an extensive bibliography; it will be an invaluable reference and a companion to modern courses on several complex variables. ZAMP Zeitschrift für Angewandte Mathematik und Physik 1990 .. comprehensive and authoritative survey of results in contemporary mathematics indications of the directions of its future development the material presented around pivotal facts whose understanding enables one to have a general view of the area no proofs or only the outline of proofs and extensive bibliographies. .. Browsing through this collection of surveys gives one a feeling of awe and admiration. Truly complex analysis is vigorously alive. .. They are highly recommended to everyone with an interest in complex analysis. Medelingen van het wiskundig genootshap 1992
