商品描述

Complex Analysis is the powerful fusion of the complex numbers (involving the 'imaginary' square root of -1) with ordinary calculus, resulting in a tool that has been of central importance to science for more than 200 years.

This book brings this majestic and powerful subject to life by consistently using geometry (not calculation) as the means of explanation. The 501 diagrams of the original edition embodied geometrical arguments that (for the first time) replaced the long and often opaque computations of the standard approach, in force for the previous 200 years, providing direct, intuitive, visual access to the underlying mathematical reality.

This new 25th Anniversary Edition introduces brand-new captions that fully explain the geometrical reasoning, making it possible to read the work in an entirely new wayDLas a highbrow comic book!

商品描述(中文翻譯)

複變分析是複數(涉及虛數平方根 -1)與普通微積分的強大融合,這一工具在科學上已經有超過 200 年的中心重要性。這本書通過持續使用幾何(而非計算)作為解釋的手段,讓這一壯麗而強大的主題栩栩如生。原版中的 501 幅圖表體現了幾何論證,這些論證首次取代了過去 200 年來標準方法中冗長且常常不透明的計算,提供了對基礎數學現實的直接、直觀的視覺接觸。這本全新的25週年紀念版引入了全新的標題,充分解釋了幾何推理,使得以全新的方式閱讀這部作品成為可能——就像一本高雅的漫畫書!

作者簡介

Tristan Needham, Professor of Mathematics, University of San Francisco

Tristan Needham (son of the distinguished social anthropologist Rodney Needham) grew up in Oxford, England. He studied physics at Merton College, Oxford, before moving to the Mathematical Institute, where he enjoyed the great privilege of studying black holes under the supervision of Sir Roger Penrose. Tristan received his DPhil in 1987 and joined the faculty of the University of San Francisco in 1989. His continuing mission is to seek out new intuitive forms of understanding, and new visualizations.

特里斯坦·尼德漢(Tristan Needham),舊金山大學數學教授

特里斯坦·尼德漢(Tristan Needham)是著名社會人類學家羅德尼·尼德漢(Rodney Needham)的兒子,成長於英國牛津。他在牛津的默頓學院(Merton College)學習物理,之後轉到數學研究所(Mathematical Institute),在那裡他有幸在羅傑·彭羅斯爵士(Sir Roger Penrose)的指導下研究黑洞。特里斯坦於1987年獲得博士學位,並於1989年加入舊金山大學的教職。他持續的使命是尋求新的直觀理解形式和新的視覺化方法。
