Math 332:  Introduction to Functions of a Complex Variable

 

 

Instructor:  Prof. Siegel 

Course Description:  Functions of a complex variable: Cauchy-Riemann equations, Cauchy-Goursat theorem, integration, series, residues, poles, geometrical aspects. Emphasis on techniques

Textbook:  Complex Variables and Applications, J. Brown and R. Churchill,  ISBN-10: 0079121470, ISBN-13:978-0079121479

Prerequisites:  Math 211 or Math 213 and Math 222 all with a grade of C or better.

Grading Policy:  The final grade in this course will be determined as follows:

Homework:

20%

Midterm Exam:

30%

Final Exam:

50%


NOTE:  This course needs to be passed with a grade of C or better in order to proceed to Math 495.

 


Drop Date:
 Please note that the University Drop Date November 6, 2012 deadline will be strictly enforced.

Homework Policy:  Homework problem sets will be assigned after each class based on the material covered, and will be due the following class. Late homework will not be accepted.

Quiz Policy:  A short quiz based on the homework problems will be given once each week.

Attendance:  Attendance at all classes will be recorded and is mandatory. Attendance record will determine 5% of the final grade, as specified in the grading policy above.

Exams:  There will be one midterm exam during the semester and one comprehensive final exam during the final exam week at the end of the semester. The final exam will test your knowledge of all the course material taught in the entire course. Make sure you read and fully understand the department's Examination Policy. This policy will be strictly enforced. Please note that calculators, cellular phones, beepers, and all other electronic devices may not be used nor turned on during any exam or quiz.

Makeup Exam Policy:  There will be No make-up EXAMS during the semester. In the event the Final Exam is not taken, under rare circumstances where the student has a legitimate reason for missing the final exam, a makeup exam will be administered by the math department. In any case the student must notify the Math Department Office and the Instructor that the exam will be missed and present written verifiable proof of the reason for missing the exam, e.g., a doctors note, police report, court notice, etc., clearly stating the date AND time of the mitigating problem.

Further Assistance:  For further questions, students should contact their Instructor. All Instructors have regular office hours during the week. These office hours are listed at the link above by clicking on the Instructor’s name. Teaching Assistants are also available in the math learning center.

Cellular Phones:  All cellular phones and beepers must be switched off during all class times.
