Topics Covered in the Course: Review of multivariable calculus: Greens, Stokes, divergence theorems and their applications; Fourier analysis : Fourier series, Fourier integrals and applications; Dirac delta - function and distributions; Complex analysis: complex numbers and complex functions, complex integration, power series, Taylor and Laurent series, residue integration.

Evaluation method: Your progress will be evaluated according to your performance in the

quizzes (Q), midterm exam (MT), final exam (F), and attendance (A). There will be several

quizzes and two midterm exams (MT1&MT2).

Your final grade (G) will be computed according to the formula:

G = 15 % Q + 20% ( MT1+MT2) + 40% F + 5% (A) .

Midtern 1 will be on October 28 and Midterm 2 will be on December 16, 2011.

The date and the time for the final exam will be announced later.

Attendance: Students are strongly advised to attend all the lectures and PSs.

5 bonus points will be added to the total numerical grade (G) of those students who will miss at most 5 lectures.

Academic Honesty: Koç University expects all of the students to be honest and in the present context, academically honest.

Please note that failure in this respect has severe consequences. Please read the KU catalog, p 37.
