Math 345 - Complex Variables - Fall 2017

Prof. Mark Janeba


Our text will (again) be Complex Variables and Applications, 9th edition, by Brown & Churchill
ISBN 978-0-073383-17-0, published by McGraw-Hill
There will be nightly reading and homework problems assigned from the text.

Q: Can I use an earlier edition?

A: If you wish, but some of the homework problems (and sections!) are different, and that may cause you difficulties.  You'll have to take responsibility for dealing with that. 
I assign homework problems using the 9th edition, and I can't tell you the corresponding problem numbers in earlier editions, even for the ones that are in earlier editions.

Q: Can I use an "international edition?"

A: If you wish, but I've had mixed results with international editions.  Some of them are exactly the same text, but cheaper.  Some of them have different problem numbers, etc.  You'll have to take responsibility for dealing with that and any other differences; I can't tell you what those differences may be.

NOTE: If the textbook cost (which is high, but in keeping with math textbooks in general) is a serious burden for you, contact me.  I may have some work-arounds which might
be worth your trouble.
