Higher Mathematics/Sunil Kumar. New Delhi, Campus Books International, 2006, 2 Vols.,  xiv, 838 p., (set). ISBN 81-8030-094-3.

    Contents: Preface. 1. The basis of the theory of functions of a complex variable. 2. Conformal transformation and the two dimensional field. 3. The application of the theory of residues, integral and fractional functions. 4. Functions of several variables and matrix functions. 5. Linear differential equations. 6. Special functions. Supplement the conversion of matrices into the canonical form.

  "In the present volume the author comes to the discussion of one of the central subjects of modern pure mathematics, an understanding of which is essential also to engineers and physicists--the theory of functions of a complex variable. Author approach is classical and for that reason is an excellent introduction for those students who will go on to study the more modern developments of the theory of functions while at the same time presenting a complete picture of those aspects of the theory (conformal mappings, differential equations in the complex plane, calculus of residues) which are of most direct interest to applied mathematicians. An interesting feature of the book is that it was the first textbook at this level to include a chapter on the theory of functions of several complex variables, a subject which forms an essential tool to workers in quantum field theory."
