Learning Outcomes
In the Complex Analysis course the student learns to differentiate and integrate functions of a complex variable. Using complex analysis one may, for instance, evaluate integrals, which could not be evaluated by any other means. One of the applications of complex analysis is the general theory of integral transforms that are used when solving linear differential equations frequently encountered in engineering. It turns out that if the function to be solved from a differential equation is replaced by its integral transform, the equation to be solved simplifies considerably.
