|
text |
Complex Variables and Applications, Sixth Edition, by
Brown and Churchill. |
|
content |
We will cover substantial portions of chapters 1 through 11 of the text.
The course is divided into five units.
|
|
homework
|
Assignments, updated perodically, are listed here. |
|
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 homework assignments, a mid-term exam, and a final exam, with equal weight given to these three items. |
|
test dates |
The mid-term exam will be on 4 March. The final will be during the
scheduled two hour period during finals week, which, for our class, falls
on Monday, 26 April, from 10:00 to 12:00 AM.
