About the Course

This course provides an introduction to complex analysis which is the theory of complex functions of a complex variable. We will start by introducing the complex plane, along with the algebra and geometry of complex numbers, and then we will make our way via differentiation, integration, complex dynamics, power series representation and Laurent series into territories at the edge of what is known today. Each module consists of five video lectures with embedded quizzes, followed by an electronically graded homework assignment. Additionally, modules 1, 3, and 5 also contain a peer assessment. The homework assignments will require time to think through and practice the concepts discussed in the lectures. In fact, a significant amount of your learning will happen while completing the homework assignments. These assignments are not meant to be completed quickly; rather you'll need paper and pen with you to work through the questions. In total, we expect that the course will take 6-12 hours of work per module, depending on your background....

The lectures were very easy to follow and the exercises fitted these lectures well. This course was not always very rigorous, but a great introduction to complex analysis nevertheless. Thank you!

A wonderful course. Dr. Petra Bonfert-Taylor is an amazing lecturer and made it easy to understand difficult topics. I really look forward to any other courses she might offer in the future.

in my humble opinion I think this course is very well but exists several topic more important for touch, and manner for made the exams and the homeworks in my opinion is bad because you will not need to do a lot of the equations for solve that

Very interesting and stimulating. It was difficult but I am a bit elderly (84). It was well explained for the most part. I am not sure about the value of the peer graded assignments. I have learned a lot. Thank you Prof Bonfert-Taylor.

Очень интересно, познавательно, узнал для себя много нового. Но в этом и проблема, пришлось уделять много времени курсу, потому что много информации для самостоятельного обучения. Автопереводчик на русский язык справляется средне.

Excellent course! Dr. Bonfert-Taylor was an excellent present & very straightforward in her approach to the subject material. Only thing I would change is to present Julia and Mandelbrot sets later in the course.

Excellent instructor and good range of material. There are some theorems that aren't proved though and I was hoping that an analysis course would have proofs for all theorems students are required to use.

Even though I haven't completed the course, I managed to do up to week 3. It is nice and the lecture videos are easy to follow and understand. Hopefully i'll retake it and complete it this time around.

Fun course and learned lots. Its tough to do maths without doing lots of practice so be prepared to do lots of examples outside of the course in order to master the material.

Très intéressant, mais le début (week 1&2) est trop simple par rapport à la suite.

Il manque beaucoup de démonstrations difficiles.

Parfait après une CPGE scientifique.

Excellent lectures. Great insights into how complex integration works. Tests and assignments are fair. Extra practice problems would be nice to help understanding.

A well taught course that merges well into undergraduate mathematics, and provided useful experience of higher level maths for a student deciding which degree to do.

Some of the latter lessons should have been put up front so as to better present the intuitions of what you're proofing, but overall found it to be a good course.

it's very nice and soundly developped , any problems showing the latex code in some questionaires ( seeing with Firefox)

Excelent course on complex analysis. The course would be more complete if the proofs of the theorems were provided/shown.
