PBINakhlé H. Asmar/B/Ireceived his Ph.D in mathematics from the University of Washington in 1986. After spending two years on the faculty of California State University, Long Beach, he joined the University of Missouri, Columbia in 1988, where he is currently Professor of Mathematics. He is the author of the book Partial Differential Equations and Boundary Value Problems, published by Prentice Hall in 1999. He is also the author or co-author of over forty research articles in the areas of harmonic analysis, Fourier series, and functional analysis. His research received support from the National Science Foundation (U.S.A.). He has received several teaching awards from the University of Missouri, including the William T. Kemper Fellowship Award, the Arts and Science Student Government Purple Chalk Award, and the Provost’s Outstanding Junior Faculty Teaching Award. He is a member of the Research Board of the University of Missouri and a member of the College of Reviewers for the Canada Research Chairs program./PPThe author can be contacted by e-mail at the following address:BRA HREF=mailto:nakhle@math.missouri.eduBnakhle@math.missouri.edu/B/A/P This reader-friendly book presents traditional material using a modern approach that invites the use of technology. Abundant exercises, examples, and graphics make it a comprehensive and visually appealing resource. Chapter topics include complex numbers and functions, analytic functions, complex integration, complex series, residues: applications and theory, conformal mapping, partial differential equations: methods and applications, transform methods, and partial differential equations in polar and spherical coordinates. For engineers and physicists in need of a quick reference tool.PThis book is intended to serve as a textbook for the following courses./PULLIChapters 1-6 are intended for a one-term introductory course on the theory and applications of complex functions./LILIC@S€
