THE MAIN AIM OF THE COURSE IS TO introduction to the basic theory of complex analytic
functions and some applications, in order to get acquainted with a number of methods and
techniques applicable to other parts of mathematics, engineering or economics. The aim of
the course is to teach the principal techniques and methods of analytic function theory.
COURSE DESCRIPTION
The course will cover material: Complex numbers, a nalytic functions (limits, continuity,
derivatives, Cauchy-Riemann equations, analytic functions, harmonic functions), Elementary
functions (exponential, logarithm, complex exponents, trigs, hyperbolic functions), Integrals
(definite integrals, contour integrals, antiderivatives, Cauchy theorem, Cauchy integral
formula, Liouville's theorem, fundamental theorem of algebra, maximum modulus
principle), Series (sequences, convergence of series, Taylor series, Laurent series, absolute
and uniform convergence, power series techniques), Residues and poles (residues, Cauchy's
residue theorem, residue at infinity, zeros of analytic functions) .
