Textbook: Applied Complex Analysis with Partial Differential Equations, by N. H. Asmar

Course Content: Theory of functions of a complex variable: topics from Chapters 1-5
                          Fourier series and partial differential equations: topics from Chapters 7-10

Grades:  Homework     -  15%
             Three exams   -  20%  each
                Final exam    -   25%

Homework: Problems from the textbook will be assigned during most class meetings. Each Friday you should hand in problems assigned up through the previous Monday. A complete list of all assigned homework problems may be found on the course web page. Selected problems will be graded and returned to you as quickly as possible. 

Exams: These will take place on September 24, October 22 and November 19 (all Fridays).  I will clarify a week or so ahead of time exactly what will be covered on each exam.
