Complex Analysis (L6) (G5261)
15 credits, Level 6
Spring teaching
This module will explore the extension of mathematical analysis from the real numbers to the larger field of complex numbers, with an appeal to planar geometry for some intuition. The module will focus on complex differentiation and path integrals, including the deep theorem of Cauchy and its consequences such as the fundamental theorem of algebra, analytic continuation and the residue theorem.
Teaching
100%: Lecture
Assessment
20%: Coursework (Portfolio, Problem set)
80%: Examination (Unseen examination)
Contact hours and workload
This module is approximately 150 hours of work. This breaks down into about 33 hours of contact time and about 117 hours of independent study. The University may make minor variations to the contact hours for operational reasons, including timetabling requirements.
We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We鈥檙e planning to run these modules in the academic year 2024/25. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.
We鈥檒l make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
