Minimum prerequisites for Basic Complex Analysis by J. Marsden, M. Hoffman

Question

I want to self study Basic Complex Analysis by J. Marsden, M. Hoffman but I don't know much real analysis and not very interested in learning real analysis. I know single and multivariable calculus, linear algebra and differential equations so is that good enough?

Answer 1

Comment: I think this is good enough to get through a first course.

Multivariable Calculus: Green's Theorem, Stokes Theorem, a little differential forms, parametrizing curves, line integrals.

Analysis: Epsilon-Delta, continuity, differentiation, integration (& techniques), sequences and series.

Other: Strong foundation in proof writing, modular arithmetic and symbolic logic.

Answer 2

The preface to the proof spells out the requirements for the reader, and indicates the level of maturity expected. The book is specifically designed for self-study, and to be useful to people from a broad range of disciplines.
