Module Code MAU22204
Module Title Introduction to complex analysis
Semester taught Semester 2
ECTS Credits 5
Module Lecturer Dr. Nicolas Aidoo
Module Prerequisites
 
MAU11204 Analysis on the real line OR

Assessment Details

  • This module is examined in a 2-hour examination at the end of Semester 2.
  • Continuous assessment contributes 20% towards the overall mark.
  • The module is passed if the overall mark for the module is 40% or more. If the overall mark for the module is less than 40% and there is no possibility of compensation, the module will be reassessed as follows: 
    1) A failed exam in combination with passed continuous assessment will be reassessed by an exam in the supplemental session; 
    2) The combination of a failed exam and failed continuous assessment is reassessed by the supplemental exam; 
    3) A failed continuous assessment in combination with a passed exam will be reassessed by one or more summer assignments in advance of the supplemental session.

Contact Hours

11 weeks of teaching with 3 lectures per week.

Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this module, students will be able to

  • Apply basic theorems on complex sequences and series, with a special emphasis on power series.
  • Use these theorems to calculate coefficients and radii of convergence of power series.
  • State basic properties of analytic functions and apply known theorems to simple examples.
  • State Cauchy's theorems and use them to compute contour integrals.
  • Prove and use properties of important examples of analytic functions, including rational, exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric and hyperbolic functions.
