TEXT:
- E. B. Saff & A. D. Snider: Fundamentals of Complex Analysis for Mathematics, Science, and Engineering,
-
PRE-REQUISITE:
- A Mat 214. Offered fall semester only.
-
BULLETIN DESCRIPTION:
- The elementary functions, differentiation, conformal transformations, power series, integral theorems,
Taylor's theorems, Taylor's and Laurent's expansions, applications of residues. A Mat 412Z is the writing
intensive version of A Mat 412; only one may be taken for credit.
-
COURSE OBJECTIVE:
- An introduction to the calculus of functions of one complex variable, with emphasis on an intuitive understanding of
the fundamental concepts and the basic results of the theory. Applications to the Sciences will be discussed along
with the more theoretical aspects.
-
HOMEWORK:
- Assigned for every class meeting, but will not be collected. Some problems will be discussed at the next class meeting. Reading and studying the text (often rereading several times)
is an essential component of your learning experience. It is very important to work regularly, and in a timely fashion, on the exercises in order to test one's understanding of the concepts and techniques,
and in order to master the required computational techniques. Many exercises call for written explanations - write them out carefully and completely!
You may expect that one or two problems on each exam will be chosen from the assigned homework.
-
EVALUATION:
- Your course grade will be based on your performance on three one hour exams (about 70%),
and on the Final Exam (about 30%). There is no predetermined distribution of grades.
Make-ups for missed exams will only be considered upon presentation of written excuse,
such as medical note, or parent's note in case of major emergency.
-
SCHEDULE of EXAMS:
- To be announced.
Final Exam: Monday, Dec. 19, 10:30 - 12:30 PM.
-
ACADEMIC DISHONESTY:
- Students caught cheating and/or committing other acts of academic dishonesty are subject
to penalties affecting their course grade, and will be referred to the University Judicial System.
