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.
|
