Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
1. Knowledge of basic properties of analytic functions of a complex variable, including power-series expansions, Laurent expansions, and Liouville's theorem
2. The idea of conformal mapping, use of fractional linear transformations
3. Knowledge of the fundamental integral theorems of complex analysis
4. Ability to use residue calculus to perform definite integrals
5. Knowledge of some of the relations between analytic functions and PDE, e.g. relation to harmonic functions, the maximum principle
