Summary
Functions of complex variable and integral transformations are one of the basic tools of effective solution of technical problems. The students will get knowledge of basic concepts of functions of complex variable, the theory of power series, Taylor and Laurent series, theory of residua, and Laplace transforms and Fouries series..
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
To give students knowledge of basic concepts of complex functions of complex variable, Laplace transforms and Fourier series.
