Course Goals: The goal of this course will be for you to develop a systematic knowledge of basic complex Analysis.

                        This course will cover complex integration, boundary behaviors of Poisson integrals, Schwarz lemma, Runge's theorem,

                        conformal mappings, infinite products, Jensen's formula, analytic continuation, H^p-spaces, Beurling's theorem,

                        Banach algebra techniques, and uniform approximation by polynomials.

 

Prerequisites:   A course in measure theory together with basic complex analysis (undergraduate course)

 

Course Books:

- Required: W. Rudin, Real and Complex Analysis, 3rd ed., McGraw-Hill, New York, 1987

- Recommended:

                    - L.V. Ahlfors, Complex Analysis, 3rd ed., Int. Student Edition, 1979

    - W.                    - J.B. Conway, Functions of one complex variable, 2nd ed., Springer, New York, 1978

                               - R.G. Douglas, Banach algebra techniques, Springer, New York, 1998

                               - H. Silverman, Complex Variables, Houghton Mifflin Co. Boston, 1975

 

 Examination and Grading: The course grade will be computed by weighing one midterm exam 40%, the final exam 40%, the assignment 10%.

                                            and attendance will count 10%. The midterm examination will be on Wednesday, November 1st at 6:15 pm

                                            and the final examination will be on wednesday, December 13rd  at 6:15 p.m.
