Logarithmic and Complex Power functions. Harmonic functions. Conformal mapping applied to two dimensional Laplace equation.

Complex Integration. Cauchy's integral theorem and its proof. Cauchy's derivative formula. Laurent's theorem and its application to representation of functions, classification of singularities and calculation of residues. Proof of important formulae for calculation of residue at a pole of order m. Residue theorem and its proof. Application of residue theorem to calculation of complex integrals such as Inverse Laplace Transform and to real integrals.
