Complex Analysis — Simplified!
- 👤 Speaker: Professor Andy Raich, University of Arkansas 🔗 Website
- 📅 Date & Time: Friday 06 May 2016, 17:45 - 19:10
- 📍 Venue: Wolfson College, Old Combination Room
Abstract
In this talk, I will discuss complex numbers and complex analysis from a mathematician’s perspective. I will discuss how to understand complex numbers both algebraically and geometrically. We will see evidence of their inevitability and I will point out why that is a very, very good thing. From there, we will delve into (or lightly touch on) applications in math, physics, engineering, biology, etc. At this point, we will have a grounded understanding of complex numbers’ place in the pantheon, along with several remarkable and powerful applications. From there, I will pivot towards the types of problems that I work on. No background beyond familiarity with elementary school geometry and the words sine and cosine will be assumed.
Series This talk is part of the Wolfson College Science Society series.
