Desired Learning Outcomes
Prerequisites
A knowledge of complex analysis at the level of a first course such as Math 352.
Minimal learning outcomes
Students should be familiar with the following concepts. They should know the technical terms, and be able to implement the methods taught in the course to work associated problems, including proving simple results.
- Essential results from a first course
Review of power series, integration along curves, Gourset theorem, Cauchy's theorem in a disc, Taylor series, Morera's theorem, singularities, residue calculus, Laurent series, argument principle, harmonic functions, maximum modulus principle.
- Entire functions
Jensen's formula, functions of finite order, Weierstrass infinite products, Hadamard factorization theorem.
- The gamma and zeta functions
Analytic continuation of gamma function, further properties of Λ, functional equation and analytic continuation of zeta function.
