Title: Loved Complex Analyis--hated Ahlfors' Complex Muddle
Product review: Ahlfors may know his material but he is apparently unable to communicate it to his audience. Exercises and theory were often only vaguely related. Virtually no examples are worked anywhere in the text, which means that the gulf between theory and application was rarely crossed.The only value I see for this book is as a review for someone who is already well versed in the subject matter. For the person learning it for the first time, the text is nearly unusable. Other, more clear texts make complex analysis interesting and approachable. This text is too terse, obtuse and vague to use as a guide to complex analysis proofs and theory.
