  Abstract:  A famous saying of Poncelet asserts that ”Between two truths of the real domain, the easiest and shortest path quite often passes through the complex domain”. Since this dictum was endorsed and popularized by Hadamard, it is usually attributed to him. The present book is a brilliant illustration of this claim - the authors show how the method of complex analysis can be used to provide quick and elegant proofs of a wide variety of results in various areas of analysis.
