Complex Analysis

Objectives

By the end of the semester, the student should be proficient on the following subjects:

1) Functions of  complex variable and fundamental examples. Differentiability conditions (Cauchy Riemann conditions), conformal map.

2) Path Integration of functions of complex variable and corresponding fundamental theorems: Cauchy''''s Theorem, Cauchy''''s integral formula, Morera''''s Theorem, Cauchy inequality, Algebra''''s Fundamental Theorem,Maximum Modulus Theorem.

3) Concepts of Taylor Series and Laurent Series. Classification of isolated singularities.

4) Residue theorem and it''''s importance in the calculus of closed pathes integrals (Residue Theorem). Compute residues using pre-established formulas.

Teaching method

Theoretical/Solving Problems sessions complementes by a an individual support schedule. 

Evaluation method

Continuous evaluation: Three tests of one hour, uniformly distributes along the semester, with grades T1,T2 and T3.

The final grade of continuous evaluation (AC) is determined by 3/10T1+3/10T2+4/10T3. The student is aproved if AC greater or equal to 9,5.

 

 

Exam evaluation: Final exam, of 3h, with grade NE. The student is aproved if NE is greater to 9.5.
