Complex Variables
Complex Variables
Course Description: The course gives the students a sound knowledge of Laplace and Fourier
Transforms along with Fourier Integrals, Partial Differential Equations,
advanced vector analysis, complex variables and complex integrals.
Course Description: The course comprises four parts. In the first part Laplace and Fourier
Transform and Fourier Integrals are covered. Advanced topics of Laplace
Transform not covered in the course of calculus II are covered in this
course.
The second part consists of Partial Differential Equations. This part helps
the students in mathematical modeling of engineering problems
depending on more than one variable.
In the third part advanced topics in vector analysis like calculus of del
operator, gradient, curl and divergence along with their physical
interpretations are covered.
Course Evaluation: There will be five quizzes two assignments one Mid‐Term Exam and one end
semester examination. Evaluation will be on the basis of following criteria:
Quizzes 10%
Assignments 10%
Mid‐Term Exam 30%
Final Examination 50%
Total 100
