Overview of the course

This is an introductory course in complex analysis. However, an undergraduate level of complex analysis and real analysis (in particular, familiarity with metric spaces and topology) will be assumed. In the first part of the class we will cover, sometimes partly or not in the same order, chapters III-VIII from Conway's book. This is roughly the material listed under MAT 542 from the graduate core-courses web page. In the remaining time, I hope to look into topics beyond introduction, such as Riemann surfaces.

There is no designated text book for the course, though I plan to "follow" Conway most of the time. The following are only some of the many nice books on the subject; first four of them are put on reserve in the library so you need not buy any of them.

Some reference books:

Course work

Your grade will be based on homework sets that I will post here and a take-home final exam which will be given in the last week of classes. (Note that the final will not be on the officially posted date, May 12th.) Most likely, there will also be a midterm exam, in which case your midterm score will be incorporated in your course grade as well.

Your course grade will be determined by the following breakdown: Homework %30, Midterm %20, Final %50. (Keep in mind that the grading policy is subject to change, however, not in way that would not be in your favor.)

Grader: Satyaki Dutta; Email: sunny@math.sunysb.edu
