Lectures
Syllabus
This is an indicative syllabus, which will be adapted as we move along. References are given to Stein and Shakarchi's Complex Analysis, Princeton University Press. These references are indicative; we will sometimes deviate from the text. Nonetheless, reading the text and doing the exercises is strongly recommended!
