Course Description:
This course provides sound knowledge of calculus in the complex domain with a detailed discussion on
complex algebra, complex functions, analyticity and contour integration. It also covers Fourier Series,
Fourier Integrals and Fourier Transforms. Besides partial differential equations are included in the course to
provide students strong mathematical tools to solve Engineering/Technology problems.
Course Objectives:
The course objective is that its successful completion should develop understanding of complex functions,
analyticity and contour integration. The applications will be covered from potential theory of harmonic
functions. The other objective is to learn solution techniques of partial differential equations. In particular
Fourier series solutions and Fourier transform techniques dealt rigorously.
After successful completion of this course, a student should be able to: PLO BT

Grading Policy:
The quizzes will be unannounced and normally last for ten minutes. The question framed
is to test the concepts involved in last few lectures. Number of quizzes that will be used
for evaluation is at the instructor’s discretion. Grading for quizzes will be on a fixed scale
Quiz Policy: of 0 to 10. A score of 10 indicates an exceptional attempt towards the answer and a score
of 1 indicates your answer is entirely wrong but you made a reasonable effort towards the
solution. Scores in between indicate very good (8-9), good (6-7), satisfactory (4-5), and
poor (2-3) attempt. Failure to make a reasonable effort to answer a question scores a 0.
SEECS maintains a zero tolerance policy towards plagiarism. While collaboration in this
course is highly encouraged, you must ensure that you do not claim other people’s work/
ideas as your own. Plagiarism occurs when the words, ideas, assertions, theories, figures,
Plagiarism: images, programming codes of others are presented as your own work. You must cite and
acknowledge all sources of information in your assignments. Failing to comply with the
SEECS plagiarism policy will lead to strict penalties including zero marks in assignments
and referral to the academic coordination office for disciplinary action.
