全书共分成8章，主要包括：复数、复函数、作为映射的解析函数、复积分、级数与乘积展开、共形映射、狄利克雷问题、椭圆函数以及全局解析函数。此外，大部分章节后都有练习，便于学生掌握书中内容，其中加上“*”号的练习供学有余力的学生选做。本书假定读者具备大学二年级的数学基础，可作为高等院校高年级本科生以及研究生的教材和参考书。
适读人群 ：高等院校高年级本科生以及研究生
复分析研究复自变量复值函数，是数学的重要分支之一，同时在数学的其他分支（如微分方程、积分方程、概率论、数论等）以及自然科学的其他领域（如空气动力学、流体力学、电学、热学、理论物理等）都有着重要的应用。
虽然本书的诞生是20世纪50年代的事情，但是，深贯其中的严谨的学术风范以及针对不同时代所做出的切实改进使得它历久弥新，成为复分析领域历经考验的一本经典教材。本书作者在数学分析领域声名卓著，多次荣获国际大奖，这也是本书始终保持旺盛生命力的原因之一。
拉尔斯·V. 阿尔福斯（Lars V. Ahlfors） 生前是哈佛大学数学教授。他于1924年进入赫尔辛基大学学习，并在1930年于芬兰著名的土尔库大学获得博士学位。期间他还师从著名数学家Nevanlinna共同进行研究工作。1936年荣获菲尔茨奖。第二次世界大战结束后，他辗转到哈佛大学从事教学工作。1953年当选为美国国家科学院院士。他又于1968年和1981年分别荣获Vihuri奖和沃尔夫奖。他的著述很多，除本书外，还著有Riemann Surfaces和Conformal lnvariants等。
