Need Recommendations for Books on Complex Analysis and Electrical Networks?

AI Thread Summary
A user seeks recommendations for books on complex analysis suitable for a first-year Electrical Engineering student at ETH Zürich, specifically covering topics such as analytical functions, Cauchy integration, Taylor and Laurent expansions, singularities, residue calculus, Fourier series, and Laplace transformations. Suggestions include "Complex Analysis" by Saff & Snider, which is noted for its examples. The user also requests a book on electrical networks and switches, focusing on sinusoidal and non-sinusoidal AC, RLC networks, and Laplace transformations. "Complex Variables" by Fisher is recommended for applied complex analysis, while more theoretical texts, like those by Ahlfors, are mentioned for rigorous studies. The user has requested books from their library and is also looking for physics resources related to mechanics and Maxwell's equations.

Hey, I am looking for a good book on complex analyis (complex calculus, "complexe anlysis" in german). Any recommendations? I am a first year Electrical engineering student at the ETH Zürich. It should cover the following, and have a reasonalbe amount of examples:

Analytical Funktions, Cauchyscher Integration, Taylor- und Laurentexpansions, Singularity, analytischer Funktionen, Residuenkalkül (no idea what it's called in english).
Fourierseries und Fourier-Transformations, diskrete und fast Fourier-Transformations, Laplace-Transformations.


I am also looking for one on Electrical networks and switches, this is what its called in german anyhow. Following topics:

Sinusodal AC, Periodic non-sinus AC, Switches (on/off switches) in RLC networks, Laplace transformations


Thanks a bunch for any recommendations
 
Physics news on Phys.org


sorry for posting in the wrong forum.. any suggestions?
 


Saff & Snider for complex analysis
 


no one have any suggestions, also looking for something for physics (1 and multi dimensional mechanics, resonance, maxwell equations)

:D

Thank you! ill check it out

EDIT: Just sent loan request to my library, now to find a book for electrical engieering and for physics
 


I'm guessing what you want is applied complex analysis, which is commonly called complex variables here. A good book is Complex Variables by Fisher, a dover book for $10.

What what call complex analysis is usually a very theoretical course that rigorously studies the functions of analytic functions. Books for that are like the one by Ahlorfs.

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
I’ve heard that in some countries (for example, Argentina), the curriculum is structured differently from the typical American program. In the U.S., students usually take a general physics course first, then move on to a textbook like Griffiths, and only encounter Jackson at the graduate level. In contrast, in those countries students go through a general physics course (such as Resnick-Halliday) and then proceed directly to Jackson. If the slower, more gradual approach is considered...
