Class Objectives
/Class Outline
To understand complex calculus,  functions, complex analysis,  partial differential equations, and Fourier transformations. 
Class Schedule 1. Basic concepts of complex numbers: the calculus, arithmetic, complex plane etc., basic complex functions (polynomial, exponential)
2. Complex functions (cont'd) : elementary functions, some simple examples,  multi-valued functions and branch points, Riemann surface.
3. Analytic and regular functions and contour integrals: Derivative of complex functions, Cauchy-Riemann equation etc.
4. Integral of complex functions: Cauchy's integral theorem, Cauchy's integral representation, and residue theorem.
5. Residue theorem and its application to the evaluation of real function integrals
6. Taylor and Laurent series expansion, analytic continuation
7. Mid-term examination
8. Partial differential equations (PDEs): Classification of Second Order Partial Differential Equations, solution of PDEs with the method o f separation of variables.
9.  Introduction to the Fourier analysis : orthogonal/orthonormal function system
10. Properties of Fourier series and examples of Fourier series: orthogonal functions, completeness, application to solving the PDEs with initial/boundary value problems.
11. Fourier integral and Fourier transformation,  Applications of Fourier transformation to boundary and initial value problems of PDEs
12. Dirac's delta functions
13. Dirac's delta functions II
14. Summary of Chapter I, II and III
15. Final examination

8. Mid-term examination.
15. Final examination.
Attendees are required to solve problems given in the class.
Reports and homeworks will be assigned every week.

The schedule will be adjusted depending on the level of understanding.

(More Details) I will share the presentation Slides via Moodle.   Homework will be assigned in the class.
The homework report should be submitted via moodle system. The report manuscript written by hand should be scanned by a smart phone camera or scanner to submit it to moodle.
You have to prepare Note books, pencils... 
Learning techniques to be incorporated  
Suggestions on
Preparation and
Review
You are required to review concepts lectured and to solve problems given in the lectures.
You have to read text books or exercise books to understand the concepts given in this lecture.
 
Requirements  
Grading Method Homework, reports, mid-term and final examinations.
The following weight ratio will be reflected to your final grade.
mid-term test (about 30%), final exam. (about 50%),
reports and homework (about 20%).
When the mid-term and final exams become on-lined-report due to the COVID-19, I will increase the weight ratio of the reports and homework. 
Practical Experience  
Summary of Practical Experience and Class Contents based on it  
Message This field itself has a huge amount of  contents.
This lecture only gives an introductory part of the field
and we will relax the mathematical correctness aiming at
the application in physics problems.  
Other I give comments and advices in English for students having not-enough Japanese language skills. 
Please fill in the class improvement questionnaire which is carried out on all classes.
Instructors will reflect on your feedback and utilize the information for improving their teaching.
