Can you people suggest some good texts for Complex Analysis? I already have Complex Analysis: An Introduction to The Theory of Analytic Functions of One Complex Variable by Lars Ahlfors. but it seems too dense sometimes and skips a lot of steps.

I am specifically looking for a book that covers the material from the later chapters of Ahlfors' book.

    Complex Variables and Applications https://www.amazon.com/Complex-Variables-Applications-Brown-Churchill/dp/0073383171. This book is a standard undergraduate complex variable text. It might seem easy to read because the exposition is very clear. You don't need the newest edition. – 2017-01-21

    You can try Complex Analysis by Stein & Shakarchi or Complex Function Theory by Sarason. Are you an undergraduate or a postgraduate? – 2017-01-21

    Well I am undergrad but I have already done the undergrad and now taking the grad course. So yeah, a book for postgrad complex is I think what I need. – 2017-01-21

    I would suggest that you go for Stein & Shakarchi then. – 2017-01-21

    Those kind of teacher's notes are very good [1](https://www.math.purdue.edu/~wang838/notes/complex.pdf) [2](http://www.mat.unimi.it/users/mauras/complex-aa1213.pdf) [3](http://www.unc.edu/math/Faculty/met/cpx.pdf) [4](https://www.google.fr/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=%22complex%20analysis%22%20%2B%22cauchy%20integral%20formula%22%2B%20%22maximum%20principle%22) – 2017-01-21

    You've the lectures from YouTube *Analysis of a Complex Kind*, from the official channel of the professor **Petra Bonfert-Taylor**. On the other hand I don't know what are the last chapters of Ahlfors. Good luck. – 2017-01-21

Complex variables and Applications by Churchill and Brown is a very good option as @Jacky Chong mentioned in the comment. Apart from that I found Complex Analysis by Theodore W. Gamelin a decent read and quite exhaustive in nature. Also you can have a look at Complex Analysis by Joseph Bak and Donald J. Newman. Both of the above mentioned books are published by Springer. Good Luck.

I studied my complex analysis in this book. I liked it much.
