The cover illustration, Square Squared by Robert Chaffer, shows two superimposed images. The foreground image represents the result of applying a transformation, z 7! z2 (see Exercises 3.53 and 3.54), to the background image. The locally conformable property of this mapping can be observed through matching the line segments, angles, and Sierpinski triangle features of the background image with their respective images in the foreground figure. (The foreground figure is scaled down to about 40% and repositioned to accommodate artistic and visibility considerations.) The background image fills the square with vertices at 0, 1, 1 + i, and i (the positive direction along the imaginary axis is chosen as downward). It was prepared by using Michael Barnsley’s chaos game, capitalizing on the fact that a square is self tiling, and by using a fractal-coloring method. (The original art piece is in color.) A subset of the image is seen as a standard Sierpinski triangle. The chaos game was also re-purposed to create the foreground image. “And what is the use of a book,” thought Alice, “without pictures or conversations?” Lewis Carroll (Alice in Wonderland) About this book. A First Course in Complex Analysis was written for a one-semester undergradu- ate course developed at Binghamton University (SUNY) and San Francisco State University, and has been adopted at several other institutions. For many of our students, Complex Analysis is their first rigorous analysis (if not mathematics) class they take, and this book reflects this very much. We tried to rely on as few concepts from real analysis as possible. In particular, series and sequences are treated from scratch, which has the consequence that power series are introduced late in the course. The goal our book works toward is the Residue Theorem, including some nontraditional applications from both continuous and discrete mathematics. A printed paperback version of this open textbook is available from Orthogonal Publishing (www.orthogonalpublishing.com) or your favorite online bookseller. About the authors. Matthias Beck is a professor in the Mathematics Department at San Francisco State University. His research interests are in geometric combinatorics and analytic number theory. He is the author of three other books, Computing the Continuous Discretely: Integer-point Enumeration in Polyhedra (with Sinai Robins, Springer 2007), The Art of Proof: Basic Training for Deeper Mathematics (with Ross Geoghegan, Springer 2010), and Combinatorial Reciprocity Theorems: An Invitation to Enumerative Geometric Combinatorics (with Raman Sanyal, AMS 2018). Gerald Marchesi is a lecturer in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Binghamton University (SUNY). Dennis Pixton is a professor emeritus in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Bingham- ton University (SUNY). His research interests are in dynamical systems and formal languages. Lucas Sabalka is an applied mathematician at a technology company in Lincoln, Nebraska. He works on 3-dimensional computer vision applications. He was formerly a professor of mathematics at St. Louis University, after postdoctoral positions at UC Davis and Binghamton University (SUNY). His mathematical research interests are in geometric group theory, low dimensional topology, and computational algebra. Robert Chaffer (cover art) is a professor emeritus at Central Michigan University. His academic interests are in abstract algebra, combinatorics, geometry, and computer applications. Since retirement from teaching, he has devoted much of his time to applying those interests to creation of art images (people.cst.cmich.edu/chaff1ra/Art From Mathematics). A Note to Instructors. The material in this book should be more than enough for a typical semester-long undergraduate course in complex analysis; our experience taught us that there is more content in this book than fits into one semester. Depending on the nature of your course and its place in your department’s overall curriculum, some sections can be either partially omitted or their definitions and theorems can be assumed true without delving into proofs. Chapter 10 contains optional longer homework problems that could also be used as group projects at the end of a course. We would be happy to hear from anyone who has adopted our book for their course, as well as suggestions, corrections, or other comments. Acknowledgements.

  • Informal Lecture Notes for Complex Analysis
    Informal lecture notes for complex analysis Robert Neel I'll assume you're familiar with the review of complex numbers and their algebra as contained in Appendix G of Stewart's book, so we'll pick up where that leaves off. 1 Elementary complex functions In one-variable real calculus, we have a collection of basic functions, like poly- nomials, rational functions, the exponential and log functions, and the trig functions, which we understand well and which serve as the building blocks for more general functions. The same is true in one complex variable; in fact, the real functions we just listed can be extended to complex functions. 1.1 Polynomials and rational functions We start with polynomials and rational functions. We know how to multiply and add complex numbers, and thus we understand polynomial functions. To be specific, a degree n polynomial, for some non-negative integer n, is a function of the form n n−1 f(z) = cnz + cn−1z + ··· + c1z + c0; 3 where the ci are complex numbers with cn 6= 0. For example, f(z) = 2z + (1 − i)z + 2i is a degree three (complex) polynomial. Polynomials are clearly defined on all of C. A rational function is the quotient of two polynomials, and it is defined everywhere where the denominator is non-zero. z2+1 Example: The function f(z) = z2−1 is a rational function. The denomina- tor will be zero precisely when z2 = 1. We know that every non-zero complex number has n distinct nth roots, and thus there will be two points at which the denominator is zero.

Given the quality of his work and his reputation for high standards, the expectations for a show revolving around Michael Jackson will always be exceedingly high. Cirque du Soleil’s Michael Jackson ONE, produced in conjunction with Jackson’s estate, aspires to meet the level of perfection the star would demand. The show, which combines Jackson’s music with Cirque’s distinctive acrobatic feats, is at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas in a space that was formerly occupied by a production of The Lion King; it was completely renovated specifically for MJ ONE. CDS anchored a team that included Auerbach Pollock Friedlander, Moser Architecture Studio, and Jaffe Holden Acoustics for the design and specification of the rigging and automation, lighting control, and audio-video systems. The show’s story line was written by choreographer Jamie King, who danced in Michael Jackson’s 1992 Dangerous World Tour. The musical director, Kevin Antunes (New Kids on the Block, Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch, Britney Spears, ‘N Sync, Justin Timberlake), made his selections from “Michael’s entire treasure vault” and remixed it specifically for the show.

  • MATH 305 Complex Analysis, Spring 2016 Using Residues to Evaluate Improper Integrals Worksheet for Sections 78 and 79
    MATH 305 Complex Analysis, Spring 2016 Using Residues to Evaluate Improper Integrals Worksheet for Sections 78 and 79 One of the interesting applications of Cauchy's Residue Theorem is to find exact values of real improper integrals. The idea is to integrate a complex rational function around a closed contour C that can be arbitrarily large. As the size of the contour becomes infinite, the piece in the complex plane (typically an arc of a circle) contributes 0 to the integral, while the part remaining covers the entire real axis (e.g., an improper integral from −∞ to 1). An Example Let us use residues to derive the formula p Z 1 x2 2 π 4 dx = : (1) 0 x + 1 4 Note the somewhat surprising appearance of π for the value of this integral. z2 First, let f(z) = and let C = L + C be the contour that consists of the line segment L z4 + 1 R R R on the real axis from −R to R, followed by the semi-circle CR of radius R traversed CCW (see figure below). Note that C is a positively oriented, simple, closed contour. We will assume that R > 1. Next, notice that f(z) has two singular points (simple poles) inside C. Call them z0 and z1, as shown in the figure. By Cauchy's Residue Theorem. we have I f(z) dz = 2πi Res f(z) + Res f(z) C z=z0 z=z1 On the other hand, we can parametrize the line segment LR by z = x; −R ≤ x ≤ R, so that I Z R x2 Z z2 f(z) dz = 4 dx + 4 dz; C −R x + 1 CR z + 1 since C = LR + CR.

    SOME SIMPLIFICATIONS IN THE PRESENTATIONS OF COMPLEX POWER SERIES AND UNORDERED SUMS OSWALDO RIO BRANCO DE OLIVEIRA Abstract. This text provides very easy and short proofs of some basic prop- erties of complex power series (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, rearrangement, composition, differentiation, uniqueness, Taylor’s series, Prin- ciple of Identity, Principle of Isolated Zeros, and Binomial Series). This is done by simplifying the usual presentation of unordered sums of a (countable) family of complex numbers. All the proofs avoid formal power series, double series, iterated series, partial series, asymptotic arguments, complex integra- tion theory, and uniform continuity. The use of function continuity as well as epsilons and deltas is kept to a mininum. Mathematics Subject Classification: 30B10, 40B05, 40C15, 40-01, 97I30, 97I80 Key words and phrases: Power Series, Multiple Sequences, Series, Summability, Complex Analysis, Functions of a Complex Variable.

The Complex Logarithm log z Let us define w = log z as the inverse of z = ew. NOTE Your textbook (Zill & Shanahan) uses ln instead of log and Ln instead of Log . We know that exp[ln |z|+i(θ+2nπ)] = z, where n ∈ Z, from our knowledge of the exponential function. So we can define log z =ln|z| + i arg z =ln|z| + i Arg z +2nπi =lnr + iθ where r = |z| as usual, and θ is the argument of z If we only use the principal value of the argument, then we define the principal value of log z as Log z, where Log z =ln|z| + i Arg z = Log |z| + i Arg z Exercise Compute Log (−2) and log(−2), Log (2i), and log(2i), Log (−4) and log(−4) Logarithmic Identities z = elog z but log ez = z +2kπi (Is this a surprise?) log(z1z2) = log z1 + log z2 z1 log = log z1 − log z2 z2 However these do not neccessarily apply to the principal branch of the logarithm, written as Log z. (i.e. is Log (2) + Log (−2) = Log (−4)? 1 Complex Analysis Worksheet 14 Math 312 Spring 2014 Log z: the Principal Branch of log z Log z is a single-valued function and is analytic in the domain D∗ consisting of all points of the complex plane except for those lying on the nonpositive real axis, where d 1 Log z = dz z Sketch the set D∗ and convince yourself that it is an open connected set.

Foreword Beginning in the spring of 2000, a series of four one-semester courses were taught at Princeton University whose purpose was to present, in an integrated manner, the core areas of analysis. The objective was to make plain the organic unity that exists between the various parts of the subject, and to illustrate the wide applicability of ideas of analysis to other fields of mathematics and science. The present series of books is an elaboration of the lectures that were given. While there are a number of excellent texts dealing with individual parts of what we cover, our exposition aims at a different goal: pre- senting the various sub-areas of analysis not as separate disciplines, but rather as highly interconnected.

  • 4 Complex Analysis
    4 Complex Analysis “He is not a true man of science who does not bring some sympathy to his studies, and expect to learn something by behavior as well as by application. It is childish to rest in the discovery of mere coincidences, or of partial and extraneous laws. The study of geometry is a petty and idle exercise of the mind, if it is applied to no larger system than the starry one. Mathematics should be mixed not only with physics but with ethics; that is mixed mathematics. The fact which interests us most is the life of the naturalist. The purest science is still biographical.” Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862) We have seen that we can seek the frequency content of a signal f (t) defined on an interval [0, T] by looking for the the Fourier coefficients in the Fourier series expansion In this chapter we introduce complex numbers and complex functions.

  • Chapter 2 Complex Analysis
    Chapter 2 Complex Analysis In this part of the course we will study some basic complex analysis. This is an extremely useful and beautiful part of mathematics and forms the basis of many techniques employed in many branches of mathematics and physics. We will extend the notions of derivatives and integrals, familiar from calculus, to the case of complex functions of a complex variable. In so doing we will come across analytic functions, which form the centerpiece of this part of the course. In fact, to a large extent complex analysis is the study of analytic functions. After a brief review of complex numbers as points in the complex plane, we will ¯rst discuss analyticity and give plenty of examples of analytic functions. We will then discuss complex integration, culminating with the generalised Cauchy Integral Formula, and some of its applications. We then go on to discuss the power series representations of analytic functions and the residue calculus, which will allow us to compute many real integrals and in¯nite sums very easily via complex integration. 2.1 Analytic functions In this section we will study complex functions of a complex variable. We will see that di®erentiability of such a function is a non-trivial property, giving rise to the concept of an analytic function. We will then study many examples of analytic functions. In fact, the construction of analytic functions will form a basic leitmotif for this part of the course. 2.1.1 The complex plane We already discussed complex numbers briefly in Section 1.3.5.
