Visual Complex Analysis

Tristan Needham

Mathematics

Needham's geometric rebuilding of complex analysis from pictures rather than algebraic manipulation, making the subject visually intuitive. Balaji lists it among the math books he'd take to a desert island, in the same family as Gowers's Princeton Companion.

    “Fun book proposes plotting all complex functions as colored contour plots.”

    From Balaji's archived math-and-science recommendations; he groups it with Gowers's Princeton Companion as desert-island math.
