The resulting theory is very beautiful and in many ways quite dierent from the real case. Complex analysis has many applications to science, engineering and other areas of mathematics. OUTLINE OF TOPICS : 1. Complex numbers and complex functions (Sections 1.1-1.5) 2. Analytic functions (Sections 2.1-2.5) 3. Elemetary functions (Sections 3.1-3.3, 3.5) 4. Complex integration (Sections 4.1-4.6) 5. Series (Sections 5.1-5.5) 6. Singularities and residues (Sections 5.6, 6.1-6.5) REGISTRATION: Questions regarding registering for this class, switching sections, etc., should be addressed to the Mathematics Department oce sta, Rm. 121 Mathematics Building. CALCULATORS: Calculators are not allowed on the midterms or nal examination. 1
HOMEWORK: Homework assignments will be posted on the web and collected in class. A portion of each assignment will be graded by the course marker. Late homework will not be accepted but the lowest score will be dropped. Students are allowed to consult one another concerning the homework problems, but solutions submitted for credit must be written by the student in his or her own words. Copying solutions from another student, from the web or from any other source, and turning them in as your own is illegal (see the Academic Integrity section below). Homework will be handed out on Fridays, due in class the following Friday. Answers will be available shortly after the due dates. There will be 9 assignments, of which only the best 8 will be counted. Homework not handed in, or handed in late, will count as the assignment I will forgive. Please submit your assignments on standard 81 11 paper and staple the pages together so that pieces of paper do not go 2 missing. I will not accept homework that is not stapled and I will not bring a stapler to class. MIDTERMS: First midterm, Monday February 6 Second midterm, Wednesday March 22 Midterms will take place in the classroom and last exactly 50 minutes. Everyone will stop writing at the same time and stay in their seats until all midterms are collected. Anyone who continues to write after the end of the examination runs the risk of not having their paper collected. MISSED EXAM POLICY: Please make sure you do not make travel plans, work plans, etc., without regard to the examination schedule in this class. There will be no make-up or alternate exams. If you miss a midterm, your score will be recorded as 0, unless you have a serious documented reason (an illness, a death in the family, etc.), in which case you should discuss your circumstances with me as soon as possible, and at least 24 hours in advance of the test. Note that you may still get a 100 in the course, even if you get a score of 0 on one midterm (see the marking scheme below). Missed nals are not handled by me or the Mathematics Department. Students with legitimate reasons for missing the nal exam should request a Standing Deferred status through their faculty. MARKS: The course mark will be based on the homework, two midterms and the nal exam. The total course mark will be Total: = HW /10 + Midterm1 /20 + Midterm2 /20 + Final /50 or Total: = HW /10 + Best Midterm /20 + Final /70, whichever one is higher. Note: the nal examination will be common to all sections and term grades will be scaled so as to have the same median as the nal. AIM: This is a piece of freely available software for doing and submitting mathematics homework on the web. I will use it from time to time.
STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES: Students with documented disabilities who may need accommodations, have any emergency medical information, or who need special arrangements in the event of evacuation, should make an appointment with me as early as possible. ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: The Mathematics Department strictly enforces UBCs Academic Integrity code. Violations can result in supension, expulsion and, in some cases, criminal charges. Please dont even consider cheating; it is wrong, it is unfair to the other students, and it can get you into far more serious trouble than failing a single exam or a single course.
