z
A1. Express f (z) = in the form f (z) = u(x, y) + iv(x, y) [3]
z+i

Re(z)
A2. Is the function f (z) = |z|
+ i Im(z)
|z|
differentiable? [8]

A3. Is the function

1
w=
z
analytic? [6]

A4. Verify that the function u(x, y) = x3 − 3xy 2 is harmonic. Hence, find it conjugate
harmonic. [10]

A5. Evaluate Z
sinπz
dz
Γ (z + 1)2 (z 3 + 8)
where Γ is the positively oriented rectangle joining the points (−2, 0), (2, 0), (2, 2) and
(−2, 2). [8]

A6. Express 2
in the form + + . [5]
z(z − 1) z z − 1 (z − 1)2
Hence, find the series of
