    What Hacker News says

    1. exmadscientistJul 2020
      A more traditional complex analysis textbook that's really good is Stewart and Tall's Complex Analysis. It's not necessarily a great complement to VCA; I used them both in my course and didn't find myself referring to VCA much, but then I had good lectures in my course and really got on with Stewart and Tall.

      The "standard" book was Churchill and Brown and, uh, I'd say that one is best avoided. It's awful enough that it may be responsible for a number of those courses being so badly taught....

      Complex Analysis (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Plane) by Ian Stewart and David Tall was a particular favorite of mine as an undergrad
