A Very well written text.......2004-08-27

This book is by far one of the best out there in the area of complex analysis. The author combined application with detailed proofs, giving the reader everything that he/she needs. A course with emphasis on applications can be easily planned out using this as the text. Similarly, if an instructor decides to focus more on proofs, the structure of this book allows this too. Simply put, this is the best out there.

You might also be wondering what I think of Churchill's text, as compared to this one. Yes I agree that it is also a good book. However Churchill's proofs are sometimes too hand-waving. Occassionally, I find Churchill using terms like "see exercise for details of this proof". Now, I really dislike this when author does this. This book by Asmar, rarely makes such comment and this therefore is also one of the reasons that I like about this book.

So trust me, if you want to learn about complex analysis, GET THIS BOOK!! Besides, the 2nd half the book talks about pdf, if you are an engineer and needs to deal with partial differential equations at work, this is a 2-IN-ONE text!!!!!

The book is worth every penny that I paid for!! Asmar ROCKS!!

Geometric Function Theory: Explorations in Complex Analysis (Cornerstones)

ASIN: 0849371554

Book Description

Ever since the groundbreaking work of J.J. Kohn in the early 1960s, there has been a significant interaction between the theory of partial differential equations and the function theory of several complex variables. Partial Differential Equations and Complex Analysis explores the background and plumbs the depths of this symbiosis. The book is an excellent introduction to a variety of topics and presents many of the basic elements of linear partial differential equations in the context of how they are applied to the study of complex analysis. The author treats the Dirichlet and Neumann problems for elliptic equations and the related Schauder regularity theory, and examines how those results apply to the boundary regularity of biholomorphic mappings. He studies the ?-Neumann problem, then considers applications to the complex function theory of several variables and to the Bergman projection.

Introduction to the Theory of Error-Correcting Codes, 3rd Edition

Accessories:

ASIN: 0817644571

Book Description

Complex numbers can be viewed in several ways: as an element in a field, as a point in the plane, and as a two-dimensional vector. Examined properly, each perspective provides crucial insight into the interrelations between the complex number system and its parent, the real number system. The authors explore these relationships by adopting both generalization and specialization methods to move from real variables to complex variables, and vice versa, while simultaneously examining their analytic and geometric characteristics, using geometry to illustrate analytic concepts and employing analysis to unravel geometric notions.

The engaging exposition is replete with discussions, remarks, questions, and exercises, motivating not only understanding on the part of the reader, but also developing the tools needed to think critically about mathematical problems. This focus involves a careful examination of the methods and assumptions underlying various alternative routes that lead to the same destination.

The material includes numerous examples and applications relevant to engineering students, along with some techniques to evaluate various types of integrals. The book may serve as a text for an undergraduate course in complex variables designed for scientists and engineers or for mathematics majors interested in further pursuing the general theory of complex analysis. The only prerequistite is a basic knowledge of advanced calculus. The presentation is also ideally suited for self-study.

Book Description

Zuleika Dobson is a highly accomplished and superbly written book whose spirit is farcical," said E. M. Forster. "It is a great work--the most consistent achievement of fantasy in our time . . .
so funny and charming, so iridescent yet so profound."
Originally published in 1911, Max Beerbohm's sparklingly wicked satire concerns the unlikely events that occur when a femme fatale briefly enters the supremely privileged, all-male domain of Judas Col-
lege, Oxford. A conjurer by profession, Zuleika Dobson can only love a man who is impervious to her considerable charms: a circumstance that proves fatal, as any number of love-smitten suitors are driven to suicide by the damsel's rejection. Laced with memorable one-liners ("Death cancels all engagements," utters the first casualty) and inspired throughout by Beerbohm's rococo imagination, this lyrical evocation of Edwardian undergraduate life at Oxford has, according to Forster, "a beauty unattainable by serious literature."
"I read Zuleika Dobson with pleasure," recalled Bertrand Russell. "It represents the Oxford that the two World Wars have destroyed with a charm that is not likely to be reproduced anywhere in the world for the next thousand years."

"Is it satire or parody or nonsense or what?".......2007-09-23

Edmund Wilson once wrote that Max Beerbohm seemed "suspended in rather an anomalous position between the constellation of Wilde, Beardsley, Whistler . . . and that of Shaw, Bennett, Wells, Chesterton, Galsworthy and Barrie." Beerbohm's transition from dandy to curmudgeon seemed almost preordained; at 25, he inspired Wilde to comment that "the gods have bestowed on Max the gift of perpetual old age." Likewise, Wilson further commented that Beerbohm "walked out of the pages of the Yellow Book and into those of the Saturday Review [where Beerbohm succeeded Shaw as theater critic] as politely and unperturbedly as he might have gone to dine at Simpson's after absinthe at the Café Royal."

Of Beerbohm's works, however, nothing straddles the tightrope between the Gay Nineties and Edwardian Age as flamboyantly as "Zuleika Dobson, or an Oxford Love Story," his only novel. Begun at the turn of the century and set aside for a decade, it was finally published in 1911. Beerbohm moved the setting of the book forward as well: as noted by his longtime friend Douglas Cleverdon, internal evidence places the story during three days of June 1906.

As its subtitle boasts, the novel is generally a satire of Oxford--and of Beerbohm's own love of Oxford, of royalty, of England. Specifically, it mocks the effect that the arrival a beautiful woman has on an all-male enclave of impressionable post-adolescent youths ("altogether, the instinct of sex is not pandered to in Oxford"); they are star-struck by this unexpected visitation and equally influenced by the pronouncements and gallantry of their collegiate icon, the Duke of Dorset. The novel is most famous both for its subdued hilarity and its raucously ludicrous neo-apocalyptic ending. After it was published, Beerbohm consistently claimed that it was, in the Wildean tradition, "characters [presented] solemnly" so that "the fun of the absurdity would be by contrast the greater." Still, he protested in a letter to Reggie Turner, "it never occurred to me that while I was trying to do this I was giving the characters anything in the nature of a real, as opposed to a fantastical-humorous, reality."

But, as Wilson exclaimed, three decades later, "What is the pattern or the point of "Zuleika"? Is it satire or parody or nonsense or what?" I, too, am somewhat at a loss--but I don't think we should accept at face value Beerbohm's protestations of innocent fantasy-humor. (And, here, I'll be circumspect so as not to give away too much of the "story.") Setting aside Beerbohm's faintly boorish attitudes toward women (or, really, Woman), the character of Zuleika seems to me not simply the ideal female but rather a human ideal. Had this novel been published in the early 1920s, I think it's "meaning" would have escaped nobody; still, at the time he began writing the novel, Beerbohm would have seen any number of his compatriots run off to the Boer War in South Africa, whence more than 20,000 never returned.

I would certainly not to be prepared to argue that Beerbohm wrote this novel expressly in response to war; instead, I think Zuleika represents any elusive principle--be it patriotism, religion, or (yes) love--for which young men seem so blithely willing to die "with no thought for the world's opinion." What seems trenchant and imperative at the time of action often, in retrospect, is seen as nonsensical and even comical. In the end, like Zuleika, a principle rarely gives second thought to its victims before it moves on to the next station.

Beware of this Time Piece and English Humor [59].......2006-08-11

This is a classic. But, for many of today's readers who were born after the demise of the phonograph, they may find the eccentricity and cliches of this book both awkward and disingenuous.

We have always heard the expression "I would die to be with that `woman.'" This book parlays that statement into a novel as one, then some, then almost all, of the male students of the elite institution of Oxford take this cliched saying to a literal demise.

Satire abounds. At one time the Duke decides to renege on his promise to die for the title character (because she will not marry him), and she audaciously responds that he is a coward and not a man of his word. He is then stuck with the greatest of all decisions: live and be found not to be a man of his word about suicide, or die and be a man of his word.

The dialogue is tightly written. Curt and very different from our 21st century patois, the reading is both fun and sometimes difficult. It is more Shakespearean than not. You can see that this author read, and probably reread, that 16th century author as did most men of his educational and geographical background.

Humor is even directed to the author. At one time the Duke notices that Zuleika may not be well read, but she is well spoken. This amazes him - it adds to her attraction. She explains that she became well spoken as she once sat next to a bright young man named Beerbohm - who apparently in one night made her able to delight even the Oxford-educated man with her repertoire.

If you think discussion about suicide for a woman (whom you have only met within a day) is a boring or ridiculous subject, you may want to stay away from this weird story. If you wish to have some inner visions of the pre-WW I British elite males of Oxford, this book offers you plenty. If you just like reading good prose, this book is much more than adequate.

Highly Developed British Eccentricity!.......2005-12-18

There is nothing quite like this satirical novel, anywhere, and so, much as the Seven Wonders, it must be experienced first hand to be appreciated. May it strike you favorably, right between the eyes!

From Zuleika's conjuring tricks and astonishing earrings to her chief suitor's inability to find anyone worthy of joining his elite club, this is the most highly developed bit of British eccentricity going. It is like giving Anthony Trollope too much champagne and asking him to dance the gavotte!

Yes, trust me, there really are people very much like these characters, and yes, there is a point or many points to the story. But even if you believe the people to be hopelessly improbable and the situations well-nigh impossible, it is still a fabulous lark of a book.

Please, suspend your disbelief! Do read it and do NOT take it too seriously, or you will miss the fractured fun of it all. Better yet, have someone skillfully read it aloud to you, as deadpan as possible, and you will find yourself hopelessly doubled over.

Would that Max had done more of them like this. It is priceless! I just wonder how soon it will be till someone names their daughter Zuleika!

One of the great farces ever written.......2005-10-26

This is a deliciously absurd book, simultaneously outrageously funny and simply outrageous. It is also a book that could perhaps only have been written when it was, after the end of the Victorian Age but immediately before the horrors of WW I. It is almost impossible to imagine a comedy about a woman who so enchants the students in the colleges of Oxford University that they are inspired to commit suicide en masse appearing after the horrors of the Great War. Only ten years after it appeared, it would have been impossible for it to get published. As it is, it stands as one of the last mementos of the pre-War era.

I've learned the hard way that this is not a novel for everyone. Though it is farce, it is not broad farce. Much of the humor lies in the subtlety of the language and one lacking the ear to appreciate the wit is going to be left rather cold. I personally find this to be one of the more deliciously written novels of the past century. It is also one of the sillier books ever written, and intentionally so. The remarkable thing is that Zuleika herself, whose fault is that she can only fall in love with someone who scarcely notices her and fails to love anyone who in turn loves her, is written as a terribly uninteresting person. She is a stage performer, gaining fame with an amateurish magic act with equipment she stole from a previous admirer, yet she never really charms the reader as she ought. This, of course, makes the manner in which she bewitches all of Oxford even more wonderfully absurd.

Throughout it all Beerbohm plays one delightful game after another. For instance, when someone comments on Zuleika's style of speech, she admits to copying from one Max Beerbohm, beside whom she sat at some dinner. Beerbohm also deals wonderfully with the issue of authorial point of view. Around this time the omniscient narrator was taking quite a beating from critics, so Beerbohm makes himself explicitly omnipresent as the result of an encounter with the muse Clio, who makes him temporarily a disembodied spirit, able to enter any space unhindered and unobserved and able to invade even the thoughts of others.

There really isn't another book quite like ZULEIKA DOBSON. Fans of THREE MEN AND A BOAT might find some resemblance between the two, but even here the resemblance is remote. Best just to read it as what it truly is: one of the most unique comic novels ever written.

A short, smart and funny work of art.......2004-07-19

Zuleika Dobson was published in 1911, a little less than a decade after the Boer War ended. It is a meditation on how beauty and love can mascarade for death: "Yonder, in the Colleges, was the fume and fret of tragedy--Love as Death's decoy, and Youth following her." There is a lot of love in the book, and a big dollop of death, too, and it remains a hilarious read.

The book is a sort of mascarade ball. It was, according to itself, a gift to Clio--the Muse of History--from Zeus, who finally gets to bed her by granting her wish to provide a historian "invisibility, inevitability and psychic penetration, with a flawless memory thrown in" to cover the events thrown into action by a certain Ms. Zuleika Dobson at Judas, College at Oxford.

In the novel several ghosts, including George Sand and Chopin, play minor roles as do several Roman Emperors, who are all forced to suffer the indignities of the elements year-in, year-out, and, as statues, usually make their thoughts known by such actions as sweating. You learn quite a lot about the late 19th century activities on Olympus--given that it is a place less reported on in our times--what it means to be an omniscient voice, are treated to a few lectures and even tantrums by the author, and to beware phrases in French, Latin, and Greek. (Not to worry, there are but a tiny smattering of these.)

That said, it is a very funny book which won't take you too long to read and which foreshadows Flann O'Brien's work as well as other, less interesting, magical realists.

One further note of explanation: Zuleika Dobson was recommended to me as a cautionary tale on the perfect woman. Ms. Dobson was not perfect, unless you mean she was an idea. I think that Mr. Beerbohm--and all men--are far too Aristotilean to be so physically transported by her. That, of course, is part and parcel of the joke.

A bizarre and wonderful book.......2003-10-31

Zuleika Dobson must be one of the strangest books ever written. Beerbohm's ornate prose cloaks a bizarre story that, while it starts innocently enough, marches toward its surreal fate with the same determination as the Oxford undergraduates it depicts.

But that isn't to say it isn't a marvelous satire. Beerbohm caricatures immature love by pitting a mysteriously alluring woman, Zuleika, who loves no man foolish enough to love her, against a pretentious nobleman known only as The Duke, who never thought himself capable of loving anyone but himself. Somehow, the author manages to tell their perverse story even as he reveals himself to be the servant of the Greek muse Clio; and the work loses nothing as it spirals into a comic fairy-tale featuring cameos by animated statues, supernatural apparitions--even Beerbohm himself!

This particular edition is (at least as of right now) my favorite. It is wonderfully printed, and the text is peppered with Beerbohm's original illustrations. He never meant to include them in the book, but they seem only fitting in a work that refuses to be categorized as a serious novel, or a typical satire, or a children's fairy-tale. Strongly recommended for serious readers with senses of humor who aren't disturbed by unexpected flights of fancy.

Well-written, fairly witty bagatelle..........2007-10-04

The fact that I am the first person to review this book on Amazon is unsurprising. Beerbohm is not exactly a household name in this country (or, perhaps, any country), and this book is so quaint and point-specific that contemporary readers might not have the patience to reach the finish-line.

Zuleika Dobson is #59 on the MLA 100, and while it deserves a spot on the list for its intellectual rigor and literary sophistication, its precedence over Of Human Bondage is another reason to question the list's methodology and composition.

Beerbohm presents nothing earth-shattering in this book...it is a satirical work--bordering on burlesque--reflective of the author's Classical erudition and aristocratic bent. It also contains a few good (not great) one-liners.

It's a worthwhile book, and I recommend it in a half-hearted way. No need to rush out and get a copy, but if you do find yourself with it, it won't be a time-waster. And, if you manage to finish it, good for you.

A Willing Suspension of Sanity.......2005-03-19

A gay exercise in the writing of the most purple of prose? A parable of great cosmic truths and little human lies? Or a satire that would gladden the cold heart of Jonathan Swift? Beats the dickens out of me..

"The Great Max" has written one 'snorter' of a novel here. The entire premise is absurd, the characters totally ridiculous and the outcome is totally mad. Yet I was swept up in the whole crazy affair of Zulieka coming to Judas. Every mad action is made both insane and somehow totally believable in the whirlpool that is her beauty. And so hangs the story...

Is this book "great" literature? That I can't answer. But boy it sure was a heck of alot of fun to read!
