MATH 4220 — Applied Complex Analysis
General Information
Covers complex variables, Fourier transforms, Laplace transforms and applications to partial differential equations. Additional topics may include an introduction to generalized functions. Students will be expected to be comfortable writing proofs. More experience with proofs may be gained by first taking a 3000-level MATH course. Undergraduates who plan to attend graduate school in mathematics should take MATH 4180 rather than MATH 4220.
