Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this module students should be able to:
Identify the properties of complex functions and describe their effects on objects in the complex plane.
Understan the effect of a range of mapping including the exponential, cosine multifunctions and logarithmic functions.
Demonstrate a broad understanding of the properties of Mobius transformations and their applications.
Understand the process of stereographic projection.
Brief description
This course aims to develop the student's grasp of the geometric signficiance of complex transformations and their mapping properties. Students will solve problems with a number of transformations, including Mobius transformations and stereographic projections, which are important in a number of contemporary contexts.
Content
Complex functions as transformations: the exponential function, the cosine and sine functions, multifunctions and logarithmic functions.
Mobius transformations: Inversion, the Riemann sphere, sterographic projection, Mobius transformations, visualistion and classification, decomposition, automorphism.
The geometry of complex differentiation: Local description of mapps, conformality, physical applications.
