Textbook: Complex Analysis, 3rd ed., by Lars V. Ahlfors, McGraw-Hill Book Company


     We shall rigorously cover Chapters 1 to 4, going into Chapter 5 if time allows, of Ahlfors.  Weekly homework (40%) will be handed out. There will be one take-home midterm (30%) and one in-class final (30%).
      Complex analysis is one of the foundation courses in graduate level mathematics curriculum. Its depth and beauty for its own sake and its powerful intertwining nature with different areas of mathematics, have made learning the subject one of the most enjoyable experiences for many mathematicians. We shall pay particular attention to its interplay with geometry.
       Emphasis is paid to doing homework, which is an important part of understanding mathematics.
