Objective:

This course is aimed to provide an introduction to the theories for functions of a complex
variable. It begins with the exploration of the algebraic, geometric and topological structures of
the complex number field. The concepts of analyticity, Cauchy-Riemann relations and harmonic
functions are then introduced. The notion of the Riemann sheet is presented to help student
visualize multi-valued complex functions. Complex integration and complex power series are
presented. We then discuss the classification of isolated singularities and examine the theory
and illustrate the applications of the calculus of residues in the evaluation of integrals. Students
will be equipped with the understanding of the fundamental concepts of complex variable
theory. In particular, students will acquire the skill of contour integration to evaluate
complicated real integrals via residue calculus. The prerequisites are some knowledge of
calculus (up to line integrals and Green’s theorem), and some basic familiarity with differential
equations would be useful.
