[Description]
Complex analysis is a particularly beautiful and powerful branch of mathematical analysis. It was shaped by the pioneering work of mathematicians such as Euler, Gauss, and Riemann, and continues to play a vital role in both pure and applied mathematics today. This course provides an introduction to the basic theory of complex functions, focusing on essential topics such as analytic functions, complex integration, and power series. While we will follow a standard approach, we will also highlight connections to applications in physics and engineering. The course avoids unnecessary abstraction and aims to develop both conceptual understanding and computational skills.
