COMPLEX ANALYSIS

MAT3CZ

2017

Credit points: 15

Subject outline

The subject extends calculus to the complex domain, where many beautiful new features appear. This gives a new perspective to many topics studied in first and second year. The new tools covered are also very useful in applications to a wide variety of areas within mathematics, as well as in other mathematically oriented sciences. The practice classes within the subject play a key role in helping the students to learn the subject content and develop graduate capabilities.
