Complex Variables with Applications
Jeremy Orloff · Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Complex analysis is a basic tool in many mathematical theories. By itself and through some of these theories it also has a great many practical applications. There are a small number of far-reaching theorems that we’ll explore in the first part of the class. Along the way, we’ll touch on some mathematical and engineering applications of these theorems. The last third of the class will be devoted to a deeper look at applications.
