COURSE DESCRIPTION
|
Topics: Complex numbers, analytic functions, complex integration, Taylor and Laurent series, residue calculus, branch cuts, conformal mapping, argument principle, Rouche's theorem. This course will emphasize applications and solving problems. You must know the theorems, but more importantly, know how to use them. This course is also preparation for the Complex Analysis section of the Masters Exam. The sequel to this course is the graduate level course, Math 535 - Complex Analysis I. |
EXAMS, HOMEWORK & GRADES
|
Working problems is an integral part of learning this subject. Homework will be assigned almost every week and graded. No late homework will be accepted. The Final grade will be based upon grades for the Homeworks (30%), Midterm (30%) and Final Exam (40%). If the link is active, you can download the homework assigments below.

TEXTBOOK & READINGS
|
The course textbook is: Complex Variables and Applications, Eighth Edition, McGraw Hill, by Brown and Churchill. There is an enormous amount of web sites for Complex Analysis. Here, for example, is a complete set of class notes with exercises and web links, from the course offered at SUNY, Binghamton. Reading these notes can serve as a review for the course.
The following articles, and the references therein, are a good start for further reading.
