Objectives and competences

Students learn some basic concepts of theory of functions of one complex variable. Elementary methods of analysis and topology are applied.
With individual presentations and team work interactions within seminar/project activities students acquire communication and social competences for successful team work and knowledge transfer.

Intended learning outcomes

Knowledge and understanding: Understanding some of the fundamental topics and techniques of complex analysis.
Application: Applications lie mainly in other parts of mathematical analysis and geometry. Conformal maps are applied to solving problems in physics and mechanics.
Reflection: Understanding the theory on the basis of examples and applications.
Transferable skills: The ability to identify, formulate and solve mathematical and non mathematical problems using methods of complex analysis. Acquiringn skills in using domestic and foreign literature. Developing the skills of independent presentation of the material in the form of seminar lectures.
