2 Complex Analysis0. Preliminaries0. Preliminaries Contact detailsThe lecturer is Dr. Charles Walkden, Room , Tel: 0161 275 5805, office hour is: Monday 12pm 1pm. If you want to see me at another time thenplease email me first to arrange a mutually convenient time. Course structure Learning outcomesAt the end of the course you will be able to prove the Cauchy-Riemann Theorem and its converse and use them to decide whethera given function is holomorphic; use power series to define a holomorphic function and calculate its radius of conver-gence; define and perform computations with elementary holomorphic functions such as sin,cos, sinh, cosh, exp, log, and functions defined by power series.

3 Define the Complex integral and use a variety of methods (the Fundamental Theoremof Contour Integration, Cauchy s Theorem, the GeneralisedCauchy Theorem and theCauchy Residue Theorem) to calculate the Complex integral of a given function; use Taylor s Theorem and Laurent s Theorem to expand a holomorphic function interms of power series on a disc and Laurent series on an annulus, respectively; identify the location and nature of a singularity of a function and, in the case of poles,calculate the order and the residue; apply techniques from Complex Analysis to deduce results inother areas of mathemat-ics, including proving the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra and calculating infinitereal integrals, trigonometric integrals, and the summation of series.

4 LecturesThere will be approximately 21 lectures in lecture notes are available on the course webpage. The course webpage is availablevia Blackboard or directly let me know of any mistakes or typos that you find in the will use the visualiser for the majority of the lectures. I will upload scanned copies ofwhat I write on the visualiser onto the course webpage. I willnormally upload these ontothe course webpage within 3 working days of the University of Manchester 20182 MATH20101 Complex Analysis0. PreliminariesThe lectures will be recorded via the University s LectureCapture (podcast) that Lecture Capture is a useful revision tool but it is not a substitute forattending lectures.

5 The support classes are not podcasted. ExercisesThe lecture notes also contain the exercises (at the end of each section). The exercises arean integral part of the course and you should make a serious attempt at lecture notes also contain the solutions to the exercises. I will trust you to haveserious attempts at solving the exercises without looking at the solutions. Tutorials and support classesThe tutorial classes start in Week 2. There are 5 classes for this course but you only needgo to one each week. You will be assigned to a class. Attendance at tutorial classes isrecorded and monitored by the Teaching and Learning Office.

6 Ifyou go to a class otherthan the one you ve been assigned to then you will normally berecorded as being try to run the tutorial classes so that the majority of people get some benefit fromthem. Each week I will prepare a worksheet. The worksheets will normally contain exercisesfrom the lecture notes or from past exam questions. I will often break the exercises downinto easier, more manageable, subquestions; the idea is that then everyone in the class canmake progress on them within the class. (If you find the material in the examples classestoo easy then great! it means that you are progressing well with the course.)

7 You stillneed to work on the remaining exercises (and try past exams) in your own time!I will not put the worksheets on the course webpage. There is nothing on the worksheetsthat isn t already contained in either the exercises, lecture notes or past exam papers thatare already on the course webpage. The worksheets tell you which exercises, parts of thelectures notes, or past exam are being covered. Short videosThere are a series of short instructional videos on the course webpage. These recap topicswhere, from my experience of teaching the course before, there is often some confusion anda second explanation (in addition to that given in the lecture notes/lectures) may be have highlighted in the lecture notes appropriate times towatch each video.

8 CourseworkThe coursework for this year will be a closed-book test taking place during Week 6 (readingweek). You can see the time and location on your personalisedtimetable, available All questions on the test are compulsory and it will be in the formatof an exam question. Thus, looking at past exam papers will provide excellent preparationfor the test. You will need to know 2,3,4 from the course for the test (this is the materialthat we will cover in weeks 1 5).Your coursework script, with feedback, will be returned to you within 15 working daysof the test. You will be able to collect your script during thesupport class that you havebeen allocated University of Manchester 20183 MATH20101 Complex Analysis0.

9 Preliminaries The examThe exam will be in a similar format to previous years. The exam for MATH20101 consistsof Part A (examining the Real Analysis part of the course) andPart B (examining theComplex Analysis part of the course). Each part contains 4 question (so 8 questions intotal). You must answer 5 of these questions, with at least 2 from each part. If you answermore than 5 questions then the lowest scoring question(s) will be disregarded, subject tothe requirement that at least 2 questions from each part mustbe terms of what is examinable: Anything that I cover (including proofs) in the lectures canbe regarded as beingexaminable (unless I explicitly say otherwise in the lectures).

10 There may be a small amount of material in these lecture notesthat I do not coverin the lectures; this will not be examinable. For the avoidance of doubt, the proofs of the following theorems will be discussed inthe lectures but arenotexaminable: Proposition , Theorem , Lemma ,Lemma , Proposition , Theorem , Theorem , Theorem , The-orem , Theorem However, understanding the ideas in the proofs may helpyou gain a wider understanding of the subject and how differentparts of the courserelate to each other. The exercises are at a similar level (in terms of style/difficulty) to the (non-bookwork)parts of the exam.
