  Complex analysis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Complex analysis is the branch of mathematics investigating functions of complex numbers, and is of enormous practical use in many branches of mathematics, including applied mathematics.
Complex analysis is particularly concerned with analytic functions of complex variables, known as holomorphic functions.
Complex analysis is one of the classical branches in mathematics with its roots in the 19th century and some even before.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Analysis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The necessity of analysis comes from the fact that knowledge begins with the perception of the concrete and the individual, and that whatever is concrete is complex.
The relative usefulness of analysis and synthesis in the various sciences depends on the nature of the problems to be solved, on the knowledge already at hand, on the mind's attitude, and on the stage of development of the science.
Analysis has the advantage of adhering more strictly to the point under investigation; synthesis is in danger of going astray, since from the same principle many different conclusions may be drawn, and a multitude of real or possible events are governed by the same law.

 PrĂ©sentation
Complex Analysis and Analytic Geometry belong closely together and are one of the few fields in the center of pure mathematics with many applications to other areas of pure mathematics (algebraic geometry, differential geometry, dynamical systems, P.D.E., topology, number theory, etc.) and applied Mathematics (theoritical physics, geophysics, mathematical economy, tomography).
The goal of the project is to develop research on fundamental problems in complex analysis and partially or totally complex analytic geometry; these problems concern a rather large part of the quoted domains, but are, generally, closely related together.

 MA21510 - COMPLEX ANALYSIS
Complex analysis is the study of complex valued functions of a complex variable.

The aim of the module is to study the theoretical foundations of complex variable theory and to develop skills in the application of this theory to particular problems.

Complex number originally were developed as a means of solving algebraic equations that did not have roots in the real numbers (such as x^2 = -3).
The set of complex numbers can be identified 2-dimensional plane of points, R^2, where the point (x,y) is the complex number x + iy (where i is one of the solutions to the equation x^2 = -1); this is called the complex plane, C.
The geometry of the complex plane is both beautiful and intricate.

 Complex variable Analysis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Complex variables are often accepted in other parts of analysis when this causes no essential change in the theory; but here we focus on those aspects of analytic behaviour unique to complex functions.
32: Several complex variables is, naturally, the study of (differentiable) functions of more than one complex variable.
In particular, study of the related spaces tends to resemble algebraic geometry, except that tools of analysis are used in addition to algebraic constructs.

 30: Functions of a complex variable
Complex variables studies the effect of assuming differentiability of functions defined on complex numbers.
Fascinatingly, the effect is markedly different than for real functions; these functions are much more rigidly constrained, and in particular it is possible to make very definite comments about their global behaviour, convergence, and so on.
Problems involving complex numbers, rather than functions, are likely to be topics in algebra; see especially 12: Fields.

Chapter 2, Complex Functions, features a brief section on the change of length and area under conformal mapping, and much of Chapter 8, Global-Analytic Functions, has been rewritten in order to introduce readers to the terminology of germs and sheaves while still emphasizing that classical concepts are the backbone of the theory.
The topics presented in the book is the classic need-to-know materials for undergraduates (complex functions, analytic functions as mappings, complex integration, series and products, etc), plus other topics which undergraduate complex analysis course usually omits: Weirstrass theory, Picard's theorem and zeta function (from complex analysis point of view).

 Course Guidance/What is complex analysis?
The reason for this change can be roughly explained: In order for a function f from the complex numbers (x+iy) to the complex numbers (u+iv), to be differentiable, of course four partial derivatives (du/dx, du/dy, dv/dx, dv/dy) must exist.
Because multiplication by i (or any other complex number) must commute (more or less) with the process of taking derivatives at a point, these four partials have to "match up when rotated".
One difficulty of reasoning about functions from the complex plane to the complex plane is that their graphs should be drawn on a four-dimensional space (two for the domain, and two for the range), but that's impossible.
