TITLE: About Terence Tao's blog-notes on complex analysis
QUESTION [6 upvotes]: I'm planning to have a first-read in complex analysis before I study advanced texts like Stein-Shakarchi or Remmert. So I was looking for some basic notes or book geared towards setting strong foundations in the concepts.
Terence Tao's complex analysis notes are posted in his blog (Note that the order of the notes are newest-first, i.e. the first post is at the bottom of the page and the last is on the top). Here's the link:

What are the pre-requisites of these sets of notes?
Thanks in advance.

REPLY [2 votes]: If you've never completed the usual reading found in a first course on complex analysis, then I would recommend that you begin by studying either 1) Schaum's Outline of Complex Variables, 2) Churchill and Brown's Complex Variables, or 3) Saff and Snider's Fundamentals of Complex Analysis.  (A useful book that is slightly more advanced than these is Taylor's Complex Variables, published by the AMS.)
Then you should be able to have a go at Tao's notes or even at the textbooks you mentioned.
