COURSE PREREQUISITE(S)
● Real Functions Analysis (Line integrals, Series, Sequences)
COURSE OBJECTIVES
This course is intended to familiar the students with the properties of complex numbers and functions, which become
so useful at the mathematical formulations of many physical problems. In analytical functions theory it is intended to
elaborate the main properties of such functions leading to the independence of integrals from the integration path,
connection with harmonic functions will be emphasized. Residue theory is a powerful tool to evaluate line integrals of
analytic functions over closed curves and compute real integrals as well. In Laurent series of a complex function the
possibility of representation of that function as a power series which includes terms of negative degree will be shown. It
may be used to express complex functions in cases where a Taylor series expansion cannot be applied. Many applications
of complex functions theory to physical problems will be emphasized.
Learning Outcomes
1. The students would be able to understand the necessity of extension of real functions area to complex functions area
at integration of elementary functions, at solution of differential equations and so on.
2. The students would be able to find out the connection of analytical functions with Laplace equation to which many
problems of mechanics and physics are reduced.
3. The students would be able to apply methods of complex functions theory effectively when solving many problems of
hydro- and aerodynamics, elasticity theory, electrodynamics and other natural sciences.
