Textbook:
No book purchase is required. At least initially, I will closely follow the lecture notes by
Dr. Weikard, Complex Analysis, Fall 2013, which can be found at
http://people.cas.uab.edu/~weikard/teaching/ca.pdf
Detailed proofs, which are not provided in the notes, will be presented in class. Occasionally, parts of
them may be given as homework assignments. There are many standard textbooks on graduate level
Complex Analysis, some of which are listed in the preface of Dr. Weikard's notes. Students are welcome
to use any or even all of them as different topics can be written better or in more details in different
books.

circumstance or official university business, the test grade will be replaced with the properly
rescaled final exam score. You have to advise the instructor of such circumstances before the
exam is given. (Exceptions to this rule are rare!)
 No books, notes, or calculators will be allowed during any of the tests.
 The Mathematics Department participates in the Early Alert Program. If you receive an Early
Alert because your instructor is worried about your attendance and/or performance, consider
taking advantage of the suggested services of the program and those suggested by your
instructor.
Methods of Teaching and Learning:
 MWF class meetings of 50 minutes each consisting of lectures and discussion of examples
and homework problems.
