objectives
|
The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the calculus of
complex valued functions of a complex variable. Though proofs will be
presented of many of the results covered, the emphasis will be on
gaining a geometric understanding of complex analytic functions as well
as developing computational skills in employing the powerful tools of
complex analysis for solving problems.
|
attendance
|
I strongly advise you to attend class regularly. A student absent from
class bears the full responsibility for all subject matter and
procedural information discussed in class.
|
courtesy
|
Generally, I expect you to get to class on time and not to leave class
until I have dismissed it. If you must leave class early, please let
me know before class begins.
|
grading
|
Your grade in the course will be based on your performance on four unit
tests.
|

honor code
|
A copy of the University Academic Honor Code can be found in the
current Student Handbook. You are bound by this in all of your
academic work. It is based on the premise that each student has the
responsibility 1) to uphold the highest standards of academic
integrity in the student's own work, 2) to refuse to tolerate
violations of academic integrity in the University community, and 3)
to foster a high sense of integrity and social responsibility on the
part of the University community. You have successfully completed
many mathematics courses and know that on a ``test'' you may not give
or receive any help from a person or from written material except as
specifically designated acceptable. Out of class you are encouraged to
work together on assignments, but plagiarizing the work of others
is academically dishonest.

ada statement
|
Students with disabilities needing academic accommodations should:
1) register with and provide documentation to the Student Disability
Resource Center (SDRC); 2) bring a letter to the instructor from
SDRC indicating you need academic accommodations. This should be done
within the first week of class.
