Learning Outcomes

Learning and teaching strategies

Assessment

After the completion of the course the students will be able to:

CLO80- Determine whether a sequence of analytic functions converges uniformly on compact sets.

CLO81- Acquire knowledge about different types of functions viz. analytic, entire and meromorphic functions occur in complex analysis along with their properties

CLO82- Describe conformal mappings between various plane regions.

CLO83-  Utilize the concepts of complex analysis to specific research problems in mathematics or other fields.

CLO84- Enhance and develop the ability of using the language of mathematics in analyzing the real-world problems of sciences and engineering.

CLO85- Express some functions as infinite series or products

CLO86- Expand some simple functions as their Taylor and Laurent series, classify the nature of singularities, find residues and apply Cauchy Residue theorem to evaluate integrals.
