COMPLEX ANALYSIS

MAT3CZ

2020

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 previous years. 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. Students will apply theoretical content knowledge and graduate capabilities in their practical classes. This subject addresses La Trobe's Innovation and Entrepreneurship Essential. Innovation and Entrepreneurship entails developing the ability to tackle problems creatively, generating new ideas, taking calculated risks and creating change to achieve ambitions - now and in the future.
