'This book addresses the problem of complex-valued derivatives in a wide range of contexts. The mathematical presentation is rigorous but its structured and comprehensive presentation makes the information easily accessible. Clearly, it is an invaluable reference to researchers, professionals and students dealing with functions of complex-valued matrices that arise frequently in many different areas. Throughout the book the examples and exercises help the reader learn how to apply the results presented in the propositions, lemmas and theorems. In conclusion, this book provides a well organized, easy to read, authoritative and unique presentation that everyone looking to exploit complex functions should have available in their own shelves and libraries.'
