Section outline

  • Material: 

    • simply connected domains
    • review of Green's theorem
    • integral over a path in the complex plane
    • Cauchy's Integral Theorem
    • homotopy

    Suggested reading and exercises:

    Read sections 4.1 - 4.4 in the course book, and have a look at the following exercises:

    • 4.1: 1, 4, 8
    • 4.2: 3(b, c), 6(a), 7, 913, 14(b, c)
    • 4.3: 5, 6
    • 4.4: 3, 5, 9, 10(b, d)
    • Martin Tamm's video from a previous version of the course details some aspects of the proof of Cauchy's theorem (subdivisions of triangles, homotopy).
