Type of module:

Summary module description:

This module continues the study of functions of one complex variable.

The Module lead at NUIST is Dr Fahim Ud Din (fahamiiu@gmail.com).

Aims:

To study more advanced properties of functions of one complex variable and their applications in other areas of mathematics.

Assessable learning outcomes:

By the end of the module, students are expected to be able to:

• Understand the proof of Cauchy’s theorem and integral formula, and use them to obtain further results in complex analysis;


• Use residue calculus to study properties of functions and evaluate integrals;


• State and prov e a selection of the main theorems;


• Use the main results to treat further problems in complex analysis and its applications.

Additional outcomes:

The use of complex analysis to obtain results in other parts of mathematics.

Outline content:

Cauchy’s theorem and integral formula, and their consequences; series of complex functions; residue calculus; analytic continuation; applications of complex analysis.

Penalties for late submission:

The Support Centres will apply the following penalties for work submitted late:

• where the piece of work is submitted after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline): 10% of the total marks available for that piece of work will be deducted from the mark for each working day (or part thereof) following the deadline up to a total of five working days;
• where the piece of work is submitted more than five working days after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline): a mark of zero will be recorded.

The University policy statement on penalties for late submission can be found at: https://www.reading.ac.uk/cqsd/-/media/project/functions/cqsd/documents/cqsd-old-site-documents/penaltiesforlatesubmission.pdf
You are strongly advised to ensure that coursework is submitted by the relevant deadline. You should note that it is advisable to submit work in an unfinished state rather than to fail to submit any work.

Assessment requirements for a pass:

A mark of 40% overall.

Reassessment arrangements:

One examination paper of two hours duration in August/September.
