Learning Outcomes

Learning outcomes

The course aims, firstly, to provide a more complete picture of the subject matter of Complex Analysis, and, secondly, to highlight the impact of its results concerning the properties of various functions of real variables and its relation – mainly through the notion of a harmonic function - to other areas of Mathematics, such as Harmonic Analysis, Geometry and Partial Differential Equations, but also to present some applications of Complex Analysis within various fields of the Natural Sciences. Concerning the skills and competences which the students will acquire, the subject is especially suitable for highlighting the connections between various mathematical areas, the power of generalization of a notion in order to understand the properties of a certain subcase of it, and the usefulness of looking at a subject from different points of view.

General Competences
  • Search for, analysis and synthesis of data and information
  • Adapting to new situations
  • Decision-making
  • Working independently
  • Criticism and self-criticism
  • Production of free, creative and inductive thinking

Syllabus

Holomorphic, entire, and meromorphic functions. Conformal mappings. Analytic continuation. Weierstrass’ Convergence Theorem. The Gamma function. Infinite Products. The Riemann Mapping Theorem. Harmonic functions and applications.
