Content
The unit builds on the techniques of applied mathematics developed in level 2 mathematics units and prepares students for continued studies in applied mathematics and investigations of advanced modelling approaches. It explores theory and applications of complex number analysis. The topics covered include complex algebra and functions, analyticity, contour integration, Taylor and Laurent series, Cauchy’s integral formula, classification of singularities, conformal mappings and residue theory, as well as applications of residue theory to the evaluation of real integrals. Complex Analysis provides us with a tool to solve hard definite integrals, and has extensive applications in science (in particular physics), and engineering (e.g., electrical engineering).
Hurdle requirement
To be eligible to obtain a pass in this unit, students must achieve at least 40% of the total marks allocated for the end-of-unit assessment.
