Text book : Complex Variables and Applications By J. W. brown & R.V. Churchill
Chapter 4: Integrals
In this chapter, we shall study the theory of integration of functions of a complex variables. The main topics that we shall cover are as follows: Complex valued functions, Contours, Contour integrals, Antiderivatives, Cauchy-Goursat Theorem, Simply and multiply connected domains, Cauchy Integral formula, Derivatives of analytic functions, Liouvilles theorem and the fundamental theorem of algebra, Maximal moduli of functions. Proposed Problems. Page 92-95: 1-5, 11, 12. Page 102-104: 1-7, 9-15, 17. Page 119-123: 1-9. Page 128-129. 1-9. Page 136-137: all problems. Expected time. 5 weeks.
Chapter 5: Series
The main goal of this chapter is to prove that a function of complex variables is analytic if and only if it has a Taylor series expansion.. The main topics that we shall cover are as follows: Convergence of sequences and series, Taylor series, Laurent series, Absolute and uniform convergence of power series, Integration and differentiation of power series, Uniqueness of series representations, Multiplication and division of power series. Proposed Problems. Page 142-143: all problems. Page 149: all problems. Page 156-158: 1-8. Page 172-176. 1-6, 9-13. Expected time. 3 weeks.
