Summary

This course provides a thorough introduction to the properties and applications of complex numbers and functions with the help of visualization and computation tools in Wolfram Language. The course opens with a discussion of complex numbers and the complex plane and then presents the most important complex functions and their properties. Later course sections discuss analyticity and complex integration. These are followed by Cauchy's theorem, Cauchy's integral formula, the residue theorem and applications of complex analysis. Exercises and quizzes accompany each section of the course and are provided for self-paced assessment.

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