Complex Analysis
Differentiable once, and therefore analytic forever.
Complex analysis is where analysis becomes geometry. A single complex derivative forces a function to be infinitely differentiable, rigid, and beautifully structured. This course develops holomorphic functions and the Cauchy-Riemann equations, contour integration and Cauchy's theorems, Taylor and Laurent series, the residue calculus and its power over real integrals, conformal mappings and the Riemann mapping theorem, and the global theory of entire and meromorphic functions.
Where this course sits
What you will master
Three capabilities the course builds
Read holomorphic functions geometrically as angle-preserving conformal maps of the plane, not merely as formulas.
Use Cauchy's theorem and the residue theorem to evaluate definite integrals that resist every real-variable method.
Exploit the extraordinary rigidity of holomorphic functions, from Liouville and the maximum principle to analytic continuation and Picard.
The syllabus
Six chapters, built in sequence
All six chapters are built. Chapter 1 is released free now. Chapters 2 through 6 remain visible here as the course roadmap and will be released progressively. Each chapter includes geometric visual investigations, complete definitions and proofs, guided exercises, progressive hints, and detailed corrections.
Complex differentiability and the Cauchy-Riemann equations, harmonic functions and their conjugates, and the first examples: polynomials, the exponential, the trigonometric functions, and the complex logarithm.
