EEE 203 Complex Calculus - Fall Semester 2016-2017
Complex numbers are in the form of a + b·i with a,b are Real numbers
and i is unit Imaginary number (i2 = 1). Since two Real
numbers are needed to define a Complex number it is described as a
point in a two dimensional coordinate system rather than a point on a
number axis as in the case of Real numbers. In this course we are going
to learn functions of complex variables, their limits, continuity,
derivation and integral etc. Namely, this course is an extension of
calculus to functions of complex variables.

Grade Evaluation
| Midterm Exam 1: |
25 % |
| Midterm Exam 2: |
25 % |
| Final Exam: |
50% |
| Total: |
100% |
Attendance: 70% (If attendance is lower than 70% you get NA and your
midterm and final exams will not be evaluated.)
Grading on a curve (bell curve) will not be used as a grade assessment
method in this course. The grade assessment is absolute. Therefore, the
students should expect basic questions, which measure whether you
learned at least the required concepts in exams.
