MAT334F: COMPLEX VARIABLES

Course description: Theory of functions of one complex variable, analytic and meromor-
phic functions. Cauchy’s theorem, residue calculus, conformal mappings, introduction to
analytic continuation and harmonic functions.

Syllabus (provisional, will be adjusted as needed later):


Weeks 1-3: Basics (Chapter 1, Sections 1 - 3)
Weeks 3-5: Cauchy’s theorem and applications (Chapter 2, Sections 1 - 5)
Weeks 6-7: Meromorphic functions and logarithm (Chapter 3, Sections 1 - 7)
Week 8: The Fourier transform (Chapter 4, Sections 1 - 2)
Week 9: Midterm
Week 10-11: Conformal mappings (Chapter 8, Sections 2)
Weeks 12: The Gamma and Zeta Functions/Review (Chapter 6, Sections 1 - 2)

Textbook:
[StSh] Elias M. Stein and Rami Shakarchi: Complex Analysis, Princeton University Press,
2003.

Tests
We will have nine quizzes, midterm test and final test.

Quizzes: for Section 0101: September 16, 23, 30, October 7, 14, 21, 28, November 18, 25;
for Sections 0201 and 5101: September 17, 24, October 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, November 19, 26.

The quizzes will be held during the regular class hours and the regular class locations on
Tuesdays/Mondays;

Midterm: Thursday, November 14, 7:30-9:30pm.

Quizzes and midterm and final exams will be on the material covered in the lectures. All
the problems for the quizzes and midterm exam and most of the problems for the final test
will be taken (with possibly minor modifications) from the homework. The problems in
quizzes and exams might involve proofs.

Breakup of the grade


Quizzes/ midterm/ final test 40%/30%/30%.

No make-ups
There will be no make-ups for missed quizzes and missed midterm. The 4 quizzes with
the lowest marks (including missed) will be discarded.
If more than 4 quizzes or the midterm are missed and if the students submitted a doc-
tor’s note explaining their absence, then the corresponding weight would be placed on the
remaining quizzes, midterm (if applicable) and final exam.
Date: September, 2019.

No aids rule
No aids are allowed in the tests and quizzes. Only the test booklets and pens, pencils,
erasers are allowed to be on the students’ desks. Any other papers, computers, smartphones,
calculators, personal items, bags, backpacks, etc are not allowed on the desks for the entire
period during the tests.
If this rule is violated during the quiz, the quiz will be discounted. If this rule is violated
during the midterm or final, the case will be forwarded to the administration.
Questions
Questions about the grading should be taken up with the TAs, all other questions, with
the students’ section instructor. In addition, there will be a dedicated e-mail account for
fielding questions. The address of this email account will be posted on Quercus. Any emails
concerning the course should be sent to this email address.
