The subject of this course is complex analysis. Complex analysis is the calculus of complex-valued functions of a complex variable. After reviewing several basic properties of complex numbers, we explain the differentiability of complex functions (holomorphy) and differentiable complex functions (holomorphic functions). Finally, we explain complex line integrals, Green's theorem and Stokes' theorem. In addition, as part of complex analysis, we review contents of [Calculus I / Recitation] and [Calculus II]. This course will be succeeded by [Applied Mathematics for Engineers Ib] in the second quarter.
Complex analysis is an absolutely essential mathematical basis of science and engineering. The aim of this course is to explain the basic theory and practical way to use of complex analysis by an efficient way.
・Students are expected to understand the differentiability of complex functions.
・Students are expected to be familiar with elementary functions as complex functions.
