SUBJECT: Complex Variables and Transforms (MA-218) (Credit Hours: 4-0) (Contact Hours: 4/week)
Pre-requisite:

Text Book: “Complex Analysis”, Dennis G, Zill, Jones and Bartlett Learning, an Ascend Learning
Company, (3rd Edition).

Reference Book(s): Complex Variables & Applications, By J.W. Brown & R. V. Churchill, (8th Edition).

Complex Analysis For Mathematics & Engineering , By J. H. Mathew & Horwells,(3rd Edition).

Course Aim: This course is aimed to provide an introduction to the theories for functions of a complex
variable. The course is primarily meant to strengthen the knowledge of students about the algebra
and geometry of complex numbers, mapping in the complex plane, the theory of multi-
valued complex function and structures of the complex number field. Students will be
equipped with the understanding of the fundamental concepts of complex variable theory.
It is meant to enable the students to analyze techniques to solve complex analysis and
transform problems which can be further applied to solve practical engineering problems
in fluid dynamics, mechanics and modeling of simple electrical circuits etc.

Course Catalogue: Complex numbers, Elementary functions of Complex variables, Analytic functions and their
properties, Integration of complex functions, Cauchy-Gaursat theorem, Cauchy integral formula,
and Fundamental theorem of algebra. Series representation of analytic functions, Residues and
poles, Evaluation of Improper Real Integrals, Mapping by Elementary functions, Laplace
transform, Fourier series and transform, Applications of Complex analysis in applied mathematics
and Engineering.

.
Course Learning Outcomes: Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to:

1. Define and recognize complex number and the complex functions in different forms such as polynomials,
rational functions, exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric and inverse-trigonometric functions
2. Understand limits, continuity and differentiability of complex functions, the properties of various
transforms, utilize the concept of analyticity using Cauchy Riemann equations
3. Compute complex contour integral using parameterization, fundamental theorem of Calculus and Cauchy
integral formula.
4. Find Taylor and Laurent series, analyze singularities and poles, determine residues and evaluate complex
integral by using Residue Theorem.
5. Interpret the nature of the problem and apply techniques of complex analysis and various transforms for
