Complex analysis is one of the most beautiful branches of mathematics, with applications to differential equations, real analysis, fluid flow, quantum mechanics and non Euclidean geometry. This subject is very classical and has its origins in the work of Euler, Gauss and others, before being developed systematically by Cauchy and then Weierstrass. We will study the basic theory of differentiation and integration of complex valued functions, Cauchy's theorem and its many applications, power series development of analytic functions, residues and applications to real integrals and various other interesting topics.
