• Catalog Description: MATH 418. Introduction to Complex Analysis (3) S. Analytic and meromorphic functions, power series, singularities, and residues.
  [Prereq: MATH 210 and MATH 240. Offered alternate years.]
• SCOPE: This course will cover foundational issues in the analysis of complex numbers and functions for complex numbers. We will examine informally and formally theorems and theories for limits, continuity, differentiability and integrability.  Supplementary readings and materials will be supplied as appropriate, as well as edited class notes on line.
• Textbook: Complex Variables 2nd Edition: Author: Schaum Outline ISBN: 9780071615693 Copyright Year: 2009 Publisher: McGraw-Hill
• Other Resources will be listed on the MOODLE page for reading and reference. See also Complex Analysis: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
• TESTS AND ASSIGNMENTS:
Homework assignments are made regularly and should be passed in on the due date. Sloppy and disorganized work will not be accepted.
See Discussion of Flipped Classroom.
Homework may not be accepted after 5 pm on the due date.
There will be at least three quizzes (on-line using Moodle), one self-scheduled mid-term exam, a special "partnership" assignment, and a comprehensive final examination.
• The Mid-term Exam will be self-scheduled announced at least one week in advance.
• THE FINAL EXAMINATION WILL SELF- SCHEDULED.  One option is as listed on the University Exam schedule-Wednesday May 13, 10:20-12:10.
  Also possible are Monday May 11, 12:40 -14:30;  Thursday May 14, 10:20-12:10; Thursday, May 14, 15:00-16:50; and Friday, May 15 10:20-12:10.
  
• The final exam will be comprehensive, covering the entire semester.
• BECAUSE OF THE INTENSE NATURE OF THIS COURSE, MAKE-UP TESTS WILL NOT BE GIVEN EXCEPT FOR VERY SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES!
• It is the student's responsibility to request a makeup promptly.

*** DAILY ATTENDANCE SHOULD BE A HABIT! ***

• Flipped: We will use a pedagogy based on a flipped classroom, a form of blended learning in which students learn content online by watching video lectures, usually at home, and homework is done in class with teachers and students discussing and solving questions.
  This result of this approach is also described as flipped learning where direct instruction moves from the group learning space to the individual learning space, and the resulting group space is transformed into a dynamic, interactive learning environment where the educator guides students as they apply concepts and engage creatively in the subject matter.
  This approach means that classroom time for the course will rarely involve me making lecture presentations but instead classroom time will involve a variety of activities such as problem discussion, reviewing materials by students presentations,and resolving questions on materials assigned for reading or viewing prior to the class meeting.
  
• Students are responsible at each class to come prepared to discuss the assignments - with solved exercises/ problems and/or questions on problems that presented difficulty in arriving at a solution.
• Partnership Activities: Partnerships of 2 or 3 members will work on some activities jointly. Every two weeks your partnership will submit a summary of what we have covered in the course reading and work. (No more than two sides of a paper.) These may be organized in any way you find useful but should not be a copy of  class notes. I will read and correct these before returning them. Partners will receive corrected photocopies. Your summaries will be allowed as references for part of the final examination only.
• On a weekly rotating basis partnerships will be responsible for submitting a record of the past week's classroom work (in an electronic format). This should include problems and examples as well as definitions, theorems, and proofs covered in class. I will review and revise these and then publish them on the Class Notes and Summaries page.
  
• GRADES: Final grades will be determined taking into consideration the quality of work done in the course as evidenced primarily from the accumulation of points from the various assignments.
• The quizzes will be worth a total of 60 points.
  
• The Midterm exam will be worth 100 points, the partnership assignment will be worth 50 points, and the final exam will be worth 200 points.
• The work on the bi-weekly summaries will be used to determine 40 points .
• Homework performance will count for 100 points.
• Class work (participation) will count 50 points .
  
• The final examination will be be worth either 200 or 300 points determined by the following rule:
  The final grade will use the score that maximizes the average for the term based on all possible points .
