ABSTRACT
Complex valued functions of a single complex variable are useful in various disciplines such as physics and numerical approximation theory. The current chapter summarizes a number of attractive properties of analytic functions and presents some applications in which MATLAB is helpful. Excellent textbooks presenting the theory of analytic functions [18, 75, 119] are available which fully develop various theoretical concepts employed in this chapter. Therefore, only the properties which may be helpful in subsequent discussions are included.
