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 way--as a highbrow comic book!

商品描述(中文翻譯)

複變分析是將複數(包括「虛數」的平方根-1)與普通微積分相結合的強大工具,已經在科學領域中至關重要超過200年。這本書通過始終使用「幾何」(而非計算)作為解釋手段,將這個威嚴而強大的主題生動地呈現出來。原版中的501個圖表體現了幾何論證,首次取代了過去200年來標準方法中冗長且常常晦澀的計算,直觀地提供了對基礎數學實際情況的「視覺」訪問。這本「25週年紀念版」引入了全新的圖說,完全解釋了幾何推理,使得以全新的方式閱讀這本書成為可能-就像高雅的漫畫書一樣!

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.

作者簡介(中文翻譯)

Tristan Needham(羅德尼·尼德漢姆博士的兒子)在英國牛津長大。他在牛津大學默頓學院學習物理學,後來轉到數學研究所,在那裡有幸在羅傑·彭羅斯爵士的指導下研究黑洞。Tristan於1987年獲得博士學位,並於1989年加入舊金山大學的教職。他的持續使命是尋找新的直觀理解形式和新的視覺化方法。
