Course Description:

Complex Analysis is a fundamental tool with numerous practical applications for solving physical problems. This course focuses on complex analytic functions—functions that possess a complex derivative. In contrast to calculus with real variables, the existence of a complex derivative imposes significant constraints on the function's properties. Applications covered in this course include harmonic functions, efficient techniques for evaluating difficult integrals, power series, and residue theory.

General Objectives:

  1. Provide students with a comprehensive understanding of complex analysis and its foundational concepts.
  2. Introduce students to complex functions, their derivatives, and methods for visualizing their graphical representations.
  3. Introduce students to advanced techniques for evaluating integrals, utilizing power series, and applying residue theory.
Target Audience:  

         3rd-year students in Microelectronic IC Design.

General Description:

This course introduces students to the fundamental principles of digital logic, distinguishing between combinational and sequential logic. It enables them to model, design, and analyze logic circuits used in modern electronic systems (such as automatons, microprocessors, etc.).
