COMMENTS ON COLLABORATION:

Students are encouraged to discuss homework problems with their classmates or with the professor to share ideas, or detect and correct errors.
However, the written material handed in by the student is expected to be the work of that student.
Copying homework solutions, or partial solutions, from another student or source is a serious violation of the university's cheating policy.

Drop dates:

Please review the Campus Calendar in the university's schedule of courses. Students who drop a course may be eligible for partial refunds if the drop is completed before a certain date.
Except for really exceptional circumstances beyond the student's control, THE LAST DAY TO WITHDRAW IS MARCH 30, 2012.

Disability Services

Students with disabilities may be entitled to support from Disability Services,
including extra time for examinations, in Main Hall 105, phone 255-3354.
Students who may fall into this group should talk to Disability Services as soon as possible.
The Disability Certification Letter to the professor is to be submitted within the first two weeks of classes.


COURSE DESCRIPTION:


TEXT:

L. Ahlfors, Complex Analysis (3rd edition)

Prerequisites:

Math 445 or Math 561, or the equivalent.

The main aims for this course follow the content of Ahlfors, chapters 5-7: (i) series and product developments, including entire functions and normal families, (ii) a study of conformal mappings and their relationship to harmonic functions, including the proof of the Riemann Mapping Theorem, and (iii) an introduction to elliptic functions. Time permitting, other topics such as differential equations in the complex domain may be included. The instructor will try to balance the needs of students for whom this is a continuation of Math 561 from Fall 2011 with the needs of students who have not taken the preceeding course.

Grading

Grading will be based on homeworks. No in-class exams are anticipated.
LATE HOMEWORK is accepted, with a grade penalty, for one week after the due date.
I expect to provide solutions for the homework. These will be available on this web page. I can also provide a paper copy if someone needs it.
