Complex analysis MOC

Complex analysis is the theory of functions of complex variables: an investigation of functions where .

Complex functions fundamentals

Complex infinitesimal calculus

Many of the rules of real-valued calculus can be applied to complex functions, and many properties can thence be generalised to satisfy the rules of complex numbers. The property has far-reaching consequences.

Differentiability generalises to holomorphic, i.e. analytic.1 A function is such if and only if it satisfies the Cauchy-Riemann equations.

Complex integration essentially involves computing two path integrals, but as a consequence of the Cauchy-Riemann equations, these are path-independent for any analytic complex function. Cauchy's Integral Formula, Cauchy's Residue Theorem
