Catalog Course Description
This course covers the field of complex numbers, functions of one complex variable; analytic functions, the Cauchy- Riemann equations, harmonic functions integration in the complex plane, Cauchy integral formula, power series, Laurent series and isolated singularities, theory of residues and applications, conformal mappings.
Course Learning Outcomes:
1. Upon completion of this course, students should be able to: Operate with complex numbers;
2. Differentiate and integrate complex valued functions;
3. Distinguish analyticity from differentiability by real variables (Cauchy-Riemann equation);
4. Understand how analytic and harmonic functions are connected;
5. Formulate Cauchy Theorem and Cauchy Formula and apply them consciously for integration;
6. Identify Taylor and Laurent expansions and distinguish isolated singularities;
7. Apply Cauchy Residue Theorem to calculations of definite integrals;
8.
