Syllabus and Objectives of the Course: This course will cover Chapters 1-2, plus selected topics from Chapters 3 and 4 of Stephen D. Fisher's Complex Variables book, which correspond to Chapters 1-7 of Schaum's Outline of Complex Variables plus some topics in Chapter 8. Deviations (minor if any) may be necessary. This course is intended to serve as a forum to facilitate your active learning of the material. You are responsible for reading the book, understanding the material and keeping up with the course.

Homework Assignments: Homework assignments will be posted at http://www.math.uga.edu/~szwang/teaching/4150-s11-hw.pdf. Take this seriously--Past experience shows that students who do not take homework seriously do poorly on exams and most of them fail.

Bonus problems: I'll give out some more challenging problems for extra credit of 1% each. If you turn in solutions of these problems for credit, you must work independently and must not discuss them with anyone else except me.

Exam Dates: There will be 2 one-hour exams plus the comprehensive final exam (all closed book and notes).  Tentative dates (will not change unless necessary) are
          Exam 1: Friday, Feb 25 (definitely before the midpoint if it needs change).                
          Exam 2: Mon, April 11                                           
          Final Exam: Friday, May 6, 8-11am (scheduled by the university). 

Other important dates: click the UGA Calendar

Make-up Exams, Late Homework: No make-up exams. Late homework will not be accepted (always due during class on the due date). A missed exam or homework will be assigned the score 0. (If you miss one of the hour-exams in an extreme situation, I will apply your final exam score to that exam.) I will drop your lowest score on homework.

Class Attendance and Participation are very important in this class. It is your responsibility to keep up with the class and be informed of time and schedule changes, ad hoc announcements, etc. 

Collaboration and Academic Honesty: Although you are encouraged to form study groups to discuss your homework and other material for the course, you must write up your own homework with your own understanding. Plagiarism, among other things, is prohibited. Above all, UGA Academic Honesty Policy applies. 

As a University of Georgia student, you have agreed to abide by the University’s academic honesty policy, “A Culture of Honesty,” and the Student Honor Code. All academic work must meet the standards described in “A Culture of Honesty” found at: www.uga.edu/honesty. Lack of knowledge of the academic honesty policy is not a reasonable explanation for a violation. Questions related to course assignments and the academic honesty policy should be directed to the instructor.

Grading Policy: Course grade will be assigned approximately according to: Homework 20%; Hour-Exams 40%; Final Exam 40%. You need to show steps for solutions of problems. No credit will be given to a straight answer to a problem without explanation, unless it is a yes-or-no type problem.

Students in need of academic accommodation are advised to contact the Disability Resource Center and let me know the necessary arrangements to be made. See http://www.drc.uga.edu/about/welcomeletter.php
