Complex Analysis with Applications to Number Theory - Paperback

by Tarlok Nath Shorey (Author)

The book discusses major topics in complex analysis with applications to number theory. This book is intended as a text for graduate students of mathematics and undergraduate students of engineering, as well as to researchers in complex analysis and number theory. This theory is a prerequisite for the study of many areas of mathematics, including the theory of several finitely and infinitely many complex variables, hyperbolic geometry, two and three manifolds and number theory. In additional to solved examples and problems, the book covers most of the topics of current interest, such as Cauchy theorems, Picard's theorems, Riemann-Zeta function, Dirichlet theorem, gamma function and harmonic functions.
