Which is the best book on complex numbers? I'm new to this topic so I would like to begin my study with the basics. I prefer books that deal with concepts in a great detail for a better understanding. The book must also contain good problem sets(high order thinking) for practise. I'm aiming to finish the entire course on complex numbers since it is used in the field of electrical engineering.
