Title: An excellent pure maths text.
Product review: I purchased this book to study some complex analysis. Being a physicist I would like to brush up on this. The book was completely different to what I expected.Some applications would have been nice, but this text is pure maths. The book is well written, easy to follow and concise. I ended up reading it and gained and appreciation for the thorough consideration of elementary real and complex numbers.Shilov is thorough and avoids making leaps and assertions. This would make the book readable to lower undergraduates. However the significance of some things is not explained, or explained in a very dry manner so people might miss this.I highly recommend this book if you are interested in real and complex analysis from a pure mathematics perspective.
