Complex analysis deals with complex-valued functions of complex variables. Some key concepts covered in the document include:
- Complex functions can be expressed in either Cartesian (z = x + iy) or polar (z = rei慮) form.
- For a complex function f(z) to be differentiable, it must satisfy the Cauchy-Riemann conditions.
- Analytic functions are differentiable at every point in their domain. For example, ez is analytic everywhere while z is analytic nowhere.
- Branch cuts arise for multi-valued functions like z, with the line between 慮 = 2 and 慮 = 4 representing one branch cut.

Cauchy Riemann Condition (CR condition)
Let a complex function be () = (, ) + (, ). The derivative () to exist at
a particular point z demands that,

Analytic functions
A function () is said to be analytic in a region if (a) it is defined, (b) and is
differentiable at every point in the region.
Example. () = is analytic in the entire finite z plane, whereas () = is
analytic nowhere.
() = = , =
CR conditions are not satisfied.
Thus CR conditions are equivalent to analyticity
Branch cut
Let us consider a function () = , = ,
() = 2

The value of the function at A is () = 12. After a complete revolution,
() =
(1+22
= 12
So it does not return to the same value. So the function is multivalued and
12 is a
value on one of the branches and between 2 4, the function assumes another
branch. The line OB is called the branch cut.
Complex integration Cauchy Goursat Theorem
If () is analytic in a region R and on its boundary , then () = 0 Also known as
