SUMMARY

The discussion centers on recommendations for books on complex analysis and electrical networks for a first-year Electrical Engineering student at ETH Zürich. Key suggestions include "Complex Variables" by Fisher for applied complex analysis and "Saff & Snider" for a more theoretical approach to complex analysis. The user also seeks resources covering sinusoidal AC, periodic non-sinusoidal AC, and RLC networks, with an emphasis on Laplace transformations. The conversation highlights the need for practical examples and comprehensive coverage of the specified topics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of complex analysis concepts such as Cauchy integration and Taylor expansions.
  • Familiarity with Fourier series and transformations, including discrete and fast Fourier transformations.
  • Knowledge of electrical engineering principles, particularly sinusoidal and non-sinusoidal AC.
  • Basic understanding of RLC circuits and Laplace transformations.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Complex Variables" by Fisher for applied complex analysis techniques.
  • Explore "Saff & Snider" for a theoretical approach to complex analysis.
  • Investigate resources on Laplace transformations in electrical engineering contexts.
  • Look into books covering sinusoidal and periodic non-sinusoidal AC in RLC networks.
USEFUL FOR

First-year Electrical Engineering students, educators in complex analysis, and professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of electrical networks and complex variables.

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

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.
