Contents
- Complex differentiability, Cauchy-Riemann differential equations
- Power series, Taylor expansion
- Curve integrals, Cauchy's integral theorems
- Isolated singularities, elementary holomorphic functions, meromorphic functions, Laurent series
- Residue theorem and applications
- Conform maps, Möbius group
- Normal families, Montel's theorem
- Riemann mapping theorem
Qualification Goals
The students shall
- understand how complex-analytical methods help to solve real-analytical problems,
- deepen their understanding of the elementary functions through the complex viewpoint,
- learn about the connections between methods of geometry, algebra, and analysis, as well as topology and number theory, and thus develop their mathematical understanding,
- Learn methods and skills that are central to applications in computer science (e.g. coding theory), physics (e.g. quantum theory) and engineering (e.g. electrical engineering)
- practice mathematical working methods (development of mathematical intuition and its formal justification, training of abstraction, proof methods),
- improve their oral communication skills in the recitation class by practicing free speech in front of an audience and during discussion.
Prerequisites
