Announcements and supplementary information

• I have placed the book
  • Weinstock, Robert, Calculus of Variations, with Applications to Physics & Engineering
  (see the course information page) on reserve in the Mathematics Library in Hill Center.
• In the notes on Schwarz-Christoffel transformations I included a reference to a classic book on complex variables:
  • George F. Carrier, Max Krook, and Carl E. Pearson, Functions of a Complex Variable: Theory and Technique. McGraw-Hill, New York, 1966.
  I have placed this book on reserve in the Mathematics Library in Hill Center. I recommend that you take a look at it, both as a place to read about the Schwarz-Christoffel material and as a general referernce, more advbanced than Greenberg, for complex variables with an applied slant.
• Here are the notes on Schwarz-Christoffel transformations.

Exam 2

• No calculators are to be used on the exam. I will try to make sure that all computations are simple.
• Here is a practice exam. (This was Exam 2 the last time I taught the course.)
• We will have a review session on Monday, April 11, from 3:20 to 4:40 PM in Hill Center 124.
• Here is a copy of Exam 2 with its solutions.

Exam 1

• No calculators are to be used on the exam. I will try to make sure that all computations are simple.
• Here is a practice exam. (This was Exam 1 the last time I taught the course.)
• We will have a review session on Wednesday, Febraury 25, at 10:30 AM. Come to my office, HILL 520 (but I hope to find us a classroom).
• Here is a copy of Exam 1 with its solutions.
