Contents
- Complex differentiability, Cauchy Riemann differential equations,
- Basic theory of curves (curve length, curvature, winding number) and curve integrals
- Cauchy integral theorems and consequences
- Isolated singularities, elementary holomorphic functions, meromorphic functions, Laurent series, residue theorem with applications,
- Submanifolds of R^n, classical vector analysis (gradient, divergence, rotation), differential forms,
- Integration on submanifolds, classical integral theorems (Stokes, Gauss, Ostrogradski ...), applications
Qualification Goals
The students shall:
- learn complex-analytic methods for solving real-analytic problems,
- practice the handling of complex-differentiable functions, which are used in complex and algebraic geometry,
- be able to use integral theorems as a tool for describing various phenomena of mathematical physics (field theory, fluid mechanics, etc.),
- deepen the knowledge from the basic module Analysis and learn connections to algebra, geometry and topology,
- practice mathematical working methods (development of mathematical intuition and its formal justification, training of abstraction skills),
- improve their oral communication skills in the exercises by practicing free speech in front of an audience and during discussion.
