Complex Analysis with Applications to Number Theory

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, RiemannZeta function, Dirichlet theorem, gamma function and harmonic functions.

Focuses on interactions of complex analysis with number theory Supplements suitable solved examples and problems with all chapters Is authored by the winner of the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology
