Course description and aims

In this course, complex analysis, we address the theory of complex-valued functions of a single complex variable. This is necessary for the study of many current and rapidly developing areas of mathematics. It is strongly recommended to take "Exercises in Analysis B I", which is a complementary recitation for this course.

At the beginning of the course, we will explain the Cauchy-Riemann equation which is a key to extend the concept of differentiability from real-valued functions of a real variable to complex-valued functions of a complex variable. A complex-valued function of a complex variable that is differentiable is called holomorphic or analytic, and this course is a study of the many equivalent ways of understanding the concept of analyticity. Many of the equivalent ways of formulating the concept of an analytic function exist and they are summarized in so-called "Cauchy theory". We will explain the theory of meromorphic functions and singularities. We also explain conformal mappings and present some examples of conformal mappings on domains in the complex plane. After that, we will introduce the notion of "residue". As an application of this theory, we explain the computation of integrals.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) understand the complex derivative and the Cauchy-Riemann equations.
2) understand the Cauchy integral theorem and its applications.
3) understand the maximum principle, Schwarz lemma.
4) understand the notion of meromorphic functions and isolated singularities.
5) understand the classification of isolated singularities.
6) compute integrals using the residue theorem.

Keywords
