Twenty-One Lectures on Complex Analysis

Alexander Isaev is a professor of mathematics at the Australian National University. Professor Isaev’s research interests include several complex variables, CR-geometry, singularity theory, and invariant theory. His extensive list of publications includes three additional Springer books: Introduction to Mathematical Methods in Bioinformatics (ISBN: 978-3-540-21973-6), Lectures on the Automorphism Groups of Kobayashi-Hyberbolic Manifolds (ISBN: 978-3-540-69151-8), and Spherical Tube Hypersurfaces (ISBN: 978-3-642-19782-6).

“This text furnishes the reader with a means of learning complex analysis as well as a subtle introduction to careful mathematical reasoning. …There is no doubt that graduate students and seasoned analysts alike will find a wealth of material in this project and appreciate its particular construction.” (Vicenţiu D. Rădulescu, zbMATH 1386.30001, 2018)
