Summary

This course provides a basic introduction to the properties and applications of complex numbers and functions with the help of visualization and computation tools in Wolfram Language. Complex analysis is a versatile tool that is used extensively in science, engineering and other fields. It is also a beautiful topic in itself. The course covers the elementary functions, the Cauchy–Riemann equations, complex integration, Cauchy's theorem and the residue theorem. The emphasis is on visualization and hands-on exercises, rather than on comprehensive proofs.

Featured Products & Technologies: Wolfram Language (available in Mathematica and Wolfram|One)
