Complex Analysis Online Course

The NPTEL is offering free online course for undergraduate/ postgraduate student in Complex Analysis.
About the course:
  • This is a first course in Complex Analysis focusing on holomorphic functions and its basic properties like Cauchy’s theorem and residue theorems, the classification of singularities, and the maximum principle.
  • We shall study the singularities of holomorphic functions.
  • If time permits, we shall also study Branches of the complex logarithm through covering spaces and attempt proving Picard’s theorem.
Course Layout:
  • Week 1: Construction and algebra of the complex numbers
  • Week 2: Geometry of the complex numbers
  • Week 3: Complex differentiation and power series, Convergence of power series
  • Week 4: Differentiability and the Cauchy-Riemann equations, Maximum principle
  • Week 5: Integration along a contour, Integration in rectifiable curves
  • Week 6: The fundamental theorem of calculus, Integration by parts
  • Week 7: Homotopy, Cauchy’s theorem
  • Week 8: Cauchy integral formula, Analytic continuation,
  • Week 9: Cauchy’s inequalities, Uniform limit of holomorphic functions
  • Week 10: Winding number, General Cauchy integral formula
  • Week 11: Singularities of a holomorphic function, Laurent series
  • Week 12: The residue theorem, Argument principle, Rouche’s theorem
