Complex Analysis: 103 (Graduate Texts in Mathematics, 103)

Non credo ci sia molto da dire, il libro è molto specialistico. Chiaro e ben fatto, la manifattura è ottima

Use this book in conjunction with another text. Difficult to learn from fully without reference to other sources. Overall very good. Note that answers are not included at the back of the book, making it a pain to track down if you are fully understanding something.

A tremendous text with rigourous treatment from initial class type to terminal in undergraduate/postgraduate course in complex analysis.

Prior to Lang's book under review several excellent texts existed but none of them, in my opinion, possessed, what I have come to understand about Lang's books, the combination of rich pedagogical skill coupled with an excellent understanding about what research topics are - as of the writing of the book - currently important. I think Lang, whom I knew and had correspondence about this matter with, wrote to educate the next generation of mathematicians. So his books are not compendiums of everything that is known but rather guide books into the research frontiers. This book was a delight for me to read and reconnect with a subject, admittedly not my area of research while a professor at the University of California, Irvine, that I always found especially beautiful. Lang goes to gerat lengths to actually teach the subject in a detailed and leisurely way. Of course, given the series in which the book appears the reader is expected to make some effort as the material is not spoon-fed, but readers who make the effort will find themselves richly rewarded with a deep knowledge of parts of the theory of complex analysis.

This book is very good for learning complex analysis, which contains several interesting exercises as well.
