Course overview
The course is an introduction to the theory and applications of complex-differentiable functions of a complex variable. Basic concepts of calculus (limits, differentiation, integration, power series) are adapted to the complex setting. The fundamental theorem of Cauchy is proved, and its numerous consequences and applications explored. Differences between the real and complex settings are highlighted.
