Daniel Alpay 
A Complex Analysis Problem Book 

This is a collection of exercises in the theory of analytic functions, with completed and detailed solutions. We wish to introduce the student to applications  and aspects of the theory of analytic functions not always touched upon in a first course. Using appropriate exercises we wish to show to the students some aspects of what lies beyond a first course in complex variables. We also discuss topics of interest for electrical engineering students (for instance, the realization of rational functions and its connections to the theory of linear systems and state space representations of such systems). Examples of  important Hilbert spaces of analytic functions (in particular the Hardy space and the  Fock space) are given. The book also includes a part where relevant facts from topology, functional analysis and Lebesgue integration are reviewed.
