Course Description:
This is the second part of a two-quarter sequence on complex
analysis.
The course will cover Taylor series, Laurent series, the residue theorem,
analytic continuation and Riemann surfaces, and other topics such as
infinite products and special functions, as time permits.
Homework:
There will be homework problems due in lecture; please check the course
website to
download problem sets. Discussion of the course and lecture material is
highly encouraged.
Although discussion of the homework and collaboration is
usually allowed, all homework problems turned in must be your own work and
reflect your own understanding of the problems. Occasionally, there may
be a problem set on which
collaboration is not allowed.
Attendance and Partcipation:
Attendance at all lectures is required. During the last half hour of
class,
students will be expected to discuss and occasionally present homework
problems.
Evaluation:
Students will be evaluated according to the following criteria: Regular
attendance, number of assignments completed and the quality
of the assignments, understanding of the mathematical material,
participation
in class, development of oral presentation and proof-writing skills,
and
effort.
