| Text: | We won't follow any given text religiously.
Graduate texts: Lang, ``Complex Analysis'' is affordable and good. Remmert, ``Theory of Complex Functions'' treats the history well Undergraduate text: Marsden and Hoffman, ``Basic Complex Analysis'' is comprehensive. Additional reference: Nehari, ``Conformal Mapping'' is useful, especially for 185B. |
| Syllabus: | Introduction to complex numbers, complex powers, topology of the
complex plane,
complex functions and limits, analyticity and Cauchy Riemann relations, harmonic functions, elementary functions, contour integration and Cauchy's theorem, Laurent and Taylor series, zeroes and singularities, the residue theorem. |
| Problem Sets: | Posted here (+ selected solutions),
due Fridays by 5:00pm in box
outside math office (NOT my mailbox).
You may collaborate on the homework. Identical solutions are tolerated if both papers acknowledge one another (i.e. you must BOTH write: ``this solution was prepared in collaboration with....''). FINAL REGRADES: Monday March 12, 5pm |
| Solutions: | No solutions will be posted -- writing these is your job :-) |
| Regrades: | Since there are no solutions, you may resubmit old homeworks after you have corrected any errors. The same applies to the midterm. Rules, submit homeworks Wednesdays by 5:00pm to the box outside the mathematics office. You may submit the current homework, 1 additional old homework and the midterm for (re)grading. Additional homeworks accompanied by a convincing written excuse may be accepted IF the grader has time to handle them. Resubmitted questions must be written out again neatly on a fresh sheet of paper. Alterations to the original submission will not be accepted. |
| Exams: | One midterm and a comprehensive final examination.
FINAL: Saturday March 17, 8am, 148 PHYS GEO NO calculators, refridgerators, notes, cell-phones, telescopes or satellite dishes in any exam. NO MAKE-UP EXAMS. |
| Grading: | %50 final exam, 10% midterm, 40% problem sets. |
