Complex Analysis is the theory of functions of a single complex variable. (That is: Functions that map from complex numbers to complex numbers.) This is advanced undergraduate mathematics with applications to even more advanced mathematics, physics, and engineering. Some of the topics covered:
- Fred's scheduling issues
- Cauchy-Riemann equations; Cauchy-Goursat theorem; Cauchy’s formula
- Derivatives and Integration in the set of complex numbers
- Casorati-Weierstrass theorem; Picard’s theorems; Liouville theorem
- Why the Residue theorem is called a residue
- Red Riding Hood
Topics Covered:
Arithmetic in the complex plane. Conjugates and absolute value. Polar form. Complex functions. Graphing. Limits and derivatives. Cauchy-Riemann equations. Holomorphic functions. Regions, open sets, connected sets. Paths. Analytic functions. Integration along a path. Fundamental Theorem of Complex Integration. Piecewise smooth paths. Paths with corners or cusps. Cauchy’s theorem. Closed paths. Simple paths. Cauchy–Goursat theorem. Trig functions, exponents, and logs in the complex plane. Argument of a polar complex function. Morera’s theorem.
