COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES


CLO1. Students will be able to recognize when a complex function is differentiable.
CLO2. Students will understand the similarities and differences between the real and complex
exponential functions
CLO3. Students will have a complete understanding of the Cauchy Integral Theorem and Cauchy
Integral Formula.
CLO4. Students will have to be able to use residues to evaluate contour integrals.

STUDENT OUTCOMES ADDRESSED IN THIS COURSE


Upon completing of this course, students will:
 Develop familiarity with the arithmetic, algebra and geometry of complex numbers;
 Recognize when a complex function is differentiable and use the Cauchy-Riemann
equations to calculate the derivative;
 Determine if a function is harmonic and find a harmonic conjugate using Cauchy-Riemann
equations;
 Understand the similarities and differences between the real and complex exponential
functions; also compute the complex logarithm;
 Set up and evaluate contour integrals directly;
 Identify when the Cauchy Integral Theorem and Cauchy Integral Formula are applicable,
and evaluate contour integrals using the Theorem and Formula;
 Find Taylor or Laurent Series for simple functions and identify the convergence regions for
each type of series;
 Identify and classify zeros and singular points of functions;
 Compute residues and use them to evaluate various contour integrals.

POLICY ON CHEATING AND PLAGIARISM


Students caught cheating on an exam receive a grade of zero on the exam in their first cheating
attempt and receive a warning. Students caught cheating for the second time will receive a grade
of “F” in the course and another warning. Plagiarism on assignments and project work is a serious
offense. If plagiarism is detected, a student will be subject to penalty, similar to the cheating case,
which ranges from receiving a zero on the assignment concerned to an “F” in the course in addition
to a warning.

ATTENDANCE POLICY
1. Students are held responsible for all the material presented in the classroom, even during their
absence.
2. Students can miss no more than the equivalent of five weeks of instruction and still receive
credit for that course.
3. Instructors have the right to impose specific attendance regulations in their courses, provided
that the above-stated limit of absences is not exceeded, and the minimum number of
absences allowed is no fewer than the equivalent of two weeks of classroom instruction, after
the Drop and Add period.
4. Instructors will inform the Departments Chairperson and the Guidance Office, of any prolonged
unexplained absence.

5. Students who exceed the allowed number of absences must withdraw from the course;
otherwise, the course grade will be recorded as “F” (NP).

WITHDRAWAL POLICY
1. A student who withdraws after the Drop/Add period and by the end of the 5th week of classes
(10th day of classes for Summer Modules) will obtain a “WI” on that particular course. The student
may process such request directly through the Registrar’s Office.
The deadline for WI is February 19, 2024
2. A student who withdraws from a course between the 6th week and the end of the 10th week of
classes (18th day of classes for Summer Modules) will receive either a “WP” or a “WF”. “WP” or
“WF” will be determined by the instructor based on the achieved academic performance in that
course till the time of withdrawal.
The deadline for WP/WF is March 27, 2024
3. The “WI” and the “WP” will not count as a Repeat; whereas the “WF” will count as a Repeat.
4. “WI”, “WP” and “WF” will not count towards the GPA calculation.
WI is equivalent to Early Withdrawal
WP is equivalent to Withdrawal/Pass
WF is equivalent to Withdrawal/Fail
