Ullrich teaches readers how to think like analysts long before they get to the "Big Picard Theorem," explaining why proofs do and do not work. He starts with Cauchy-Riemann equations in the introduction, then proceeds to power series, results on holomorphic functions, logarithms, winding numbers, Couchy's theorem, counting zeros and the open mapping theorem In mathematics, there are two theorems with the name "open mapping theorem". In both cases, they give conditions under which certain maps are open maps, i.e. they map open sets to open sets. , Eulers formula for sin(z), inverses of holomorphic maps, conformal con·for·mal

 mappings, normal families and the Riemann mapping theorem In complex analysis, the Riemann mapping theorem states that if is a simply connected open subset of the complex number plane C which is not all of C , harmonic functions, simply connected open sets, Runge's theorem and the Mittag-Leffler theorem, the Weierstrass factorization theorem In mathematics, the Weierstrass factorization theorem in complex analysis, named after Karl Weierstrass, asserts that entire functions can be represented by a product involving their zeroes. , Caratheodory's theorem, analytic continuation, orientation, the modular function, and the promised Picard theorems. He continues with Abel's theorem, the gamma function, universal covering spaces, Cauchy's theorem for non-holomorphic functions and harmonic conjugates. The result is suitable for a course in complex analysis for students with experience in advanced calculus.
