I've reworked the introduction to the article, to clarify that complex analysis really involves functions satisfying complex differentiability conditions, rather than just complex-valued functions. Also, a brief note on a comparison between complex analysis and real analysis. This reflects what could be thought of as a personal opinion, but I think the opinion is generally echoed in the math community.

:Definitely an improvement (in my opinion), so thanks for that. I think the comparison between real and complex analysis is acceptable, though there is a tension with the [[CZ:Neutrality Policy|Neutrality Policy]] and this comparison should ideally be worked out later in the article. There is a slight danger that the introduction is seen to imply that complex analysis concerns only analytic (or meromorphic) functions, but I can't see a way to improve that without destroying the flow of the text. -- [[User:Jitse Niesen|Jitse Niesen]] 08:22, 28 February 2008 (CST) | |||

This is some material that used to be in the complex number article, but I felt an entire article on complex analysis would be the better place for it. However all I did was cut and paste from there to here, so this article doesn't have a good structure yet. Feel free to attack it! - Greg Martin 18:53, 29 April 2007 (CDT)
Reworked introduction
Hi,
I've reworked the introduction to the article, to clarify that complex analysis really involves functions satisfying complex differentiability conditions, rather than just complex-valued functions. Also, a brief note on a comparison between complex analysis and real analysis. This reflects what could be thought of as a personal opinion, but I think the opinion is generally echoed in the math community. Vipul Naik 19:28, 27 February 2008 (CST)
- Definitely an improvement (in my opinion), so thanks for that. I think the comparison between real and complex analysis is acceptable, though there is a tension with the Neutrality Policy and this comparison should ideally be worked out later in the article. There is a slight danger that the introduction is seen to imply that complex analysis concerns only analytic (or meromorphic) functions, but I can't see a way to improve that without destroying the flow of the text. -- Jitse Niesen 08:22, 28 February 2008 (CST)
