Specific topics include: Complex Numbers, Elementary Functions, Mapping by Elementary Functions, Analytic Functions, Integration, Conformal Mapping, Boundary Value Problems, Poisson Integral Formula, Power Series and Integration using Residues.

The course webpage is located at http://www.maths.uq.edu.au/courses/MATH3401

Students are expected to check this page, the Blackboard page and the associated links frequently,ᅠ meaning at least a couple of times a week.


In the School of Mathematics and Physics we are committed to creating an inclusive and empowering learning environment for all students. We value and respect the diverse range of experiences our students bring to their education, and we believe that this diversity is crucial for fostering a rich culture of knowledge sharing and meaningful exploration. We hold both students and staff accountable for actively contributing to the establishment of a respectful and supportive learning environment.

Bullying, harassment, and discrimination in any form are strictly against our principles and against UQ Policy, and will not be tolerated. We have developed a suite of resources to assist you in recognising, reporting, and addressing such behaviour. If you have any concerns about your experience in this course, we encourage you to tell a member of the course teaching team, or alternatively contact an SMP Classroom Inclusivity Champion (see Blackboard for contact details). Our Inclusivity Champions are here to listen, to understand your concerns, and to explore potential actions that can be taken to resolve them. Your well-being and a positive learning atmosphere are of utmost importance to us.

Supplementary assessment

Supplementary assessment is available for this course.

Should you fail a course with a grade of 3, you may be eligible for supplementary assessment. Refer to my.UQ for information on supplementary assessment and how to apply. 

Supplementary assessment provides an additional opportunity to demonstrate you have achieved all the required learning outcomes for a course.  

If you apply and are granted supplementary assessment, the type of supplementary assessment set will consider which learning outcome(s) have not been met.  

Supplementary assessment for this course will be a two-hour comprehensive written exam, to be run at the same time as the deferred exam, under the same conditions as the deferred exam. Students granted supplementary assessment must pass the supplementary exam (50%) to pass the course.

Additional assessment information

Students should check that assignment marks are correctly entered on Blackboard.

No discussions about incorrect/missing marks will be entertained more than three weeks after the given assignment has been returned.


Artificial Intelligence

Assessment tasks in this course evaluate students' abilities, skills and knowledge without the aid of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) or Machine Translation (MT). Students are advised that the use of AI or MT technologies to develop responses is strictly prohibited and may constitute student misconduct under the Student Code of Conduct.

Applications for Extensions to Assessment Due Dates

Extension requests are submitted online via my.UQ – applying for an extension. Extension requests received in any other way will not be approved. Additional details associated with extension requests, including acceptable and unacceptable reasons, may be found at my.UQ.

Please note:

  • Requests for an extension to an assessment due date must be submitted through your my.UQ portal and you must provide documentation of your circumstances, as soon as it becomes evident that an extension is needed. Your application must be submitted on or before the assessment item's due date and time.
  • Applications for extension can take time to be processed so you should continue to work on your assessment item while awaiting a decision. We recommend that you submit any completed work by the due date, and this will be marked if your application is not approved. Should your application be approved, then you will be able to resubmit by the agreed revised due date.
  • If an extension is approved, you will be notified via your my.UQ portal and the new date and time for submission provided. It is important that you check the revised date as it may differ from the date that you requested.
  • If the basis of the application is a medical condition, applications should be accompanied by a medical certificate dated prior to the assignment due date. If you are unable to provide documentation to support your application by the due date and time you must still submit your application on time and attach a written statement (Word document) outlining why you cannot provide the documentation. You must then upload the documentation to the portal within 24 hours.
  • If an extension is being sought on the basis of exceptional circumstances, it must be accompanied by supporting documentation (eg. Statutory declaration).
  • For extensions based on a SAP you may be granted a maximum of 7 days (if no earlier maximum date applies). See the Extension or Deferral availability section of each assessment for details. Your SAP is all that is required as documentation to support your application. However, additional extension requests for the assessment item will require the submission of additional supporting documentation e.g., a medical certificate. All extension requests must be received by the assessment due date and time.
  • Students may be asked to submit evidence of work completed to date. Lack of adequate progress on your assessment item may result in an extension being denied.
  • If you have been ill or unable to attend class for more than 14 days, you are advised to carefully consider whether you are capable of successfully completing your courses this semester. You might be eligible to withdraw without academic penalty - seek advice from the Faculty that administers your program.
  • There are no provisions for exemption from an assessment item within UQ rules. If you are unable to submit an assessment piece then, under special circumstances, you may be granted an exemption, but may be required to submit alternative assessment to ensure all learning outcomes are met.

Applications to defer an exam

In certain circumstances you can apply to take a deferred examination for in-semester and end-of-semester exams. You'll need to demonstrate through supporting documentation how unavoidable circumstances prevented you from sitting your exam. If you can’t, you can apply for a one-off discretionary deferred exam.

Deferred Exam requests are submitted online via mySi-net. Requests received in any other way will not be approved. Additional details associated with deferred examinations, including acceptable and unacceptable reasons may be found at my.UQ.

Please note:

  • Applications can be submitted no later than 5 calendar days after the date of the original exam.
  • There are no provisions to defer a deferred exam. You need to be available to sit your deferred examination.
  • Your deferred examination request(s) must have a status of "submitted" in mySI-net to be assessed.
  • All applications for deferred in-semester examinations are assessed by the relevant school. Applications for deferred end-of-semester examinations are assessed by the Academic Services Division.
  • You’ll receive an email to your student email account when the status of your application is updated.
  • If you have a medical condition, mental health condition or disability and require alternative arrangements for your deferred exam you’ll need to complete the online alternative exam arrangements through my.UQ. This is in addition to your deferred examinations request. You need to submit this request on the same day as your request for a deferred exam or supplementary assessment. Contact Student Services if you need assistance completing your alternative exam arrangements request.


Learning resources

You'll need the following resources to successfully complete the course. We've indicated below if you need a personal copy of the reading materials or your own item.

Library resources

Find the required and recommended resources for this course on the UQ Library website.

Additional learning resources information

ᅠAs well as the textbooks and workbooks, students will have four assignments;

these contribute directly to the assessment for this course.

Other resources available will be:

Weekly problem sheets to provide additional practice (model solutions will be posted);

Practice in-semester exam;

Practice problems for the final exam.

Completion of these other items will not directly contribute towards your final course mark. Completion will obviously have a direct benefit to your understanding of the material, and hence to your level of preparedness for the final exam.

There is also an Ed discussion board (link from the course Blackboard site).

Current and past assignments, along with model solutions, will be posted on the course web page: ᅠhttp://www.maths.uq.edu.au/courses/MATH3401.

It is very important that students check this page regularly.

Lecture

Students should attend or view all the lectures. A script will not be provided, nor will one be posted on the web-page. Both lecture recordings and screenshots of the boards will be posted to the course webpage.


There will be various hand-outs throughout the semester: these will be posted on the web-page, along with assignments, and model solutions. These are in no way designed to substitute for your lecture-notes.


Please note that the in-semester exam is scheduled in the lecture slot from 1:00-1:50 pm on Thursday 10 April. The in-semester exam is formative and is not mandatory, but is highly recommended.


The lecture scheduleᅠconsists of 37ᅠlectures: There is no lecture on Friday 18 April (Good Friday) orᅠ Monday 05ᅠMay (Labour Day public holiday).



The first lecture will be largely an introduction, and the final lecture will include someᅠrevision. One lecture in week 6ᅠwillᅠinclude review for the mid-semester exam.




The following is a draft of the lecture schedule for the course. Students should readᅠthe assigned readings (from Brown/Churchill)ᅠpriorᅠto each lecture. The optional readings are not directly examinable and should be read only by students who feel they have comfortably mastered the material in the assigned readings. Students will be advised of any changes to the assigned readings as soon as possible, but please note that the pace is likely to vary throughout the semester: sometimes we are likely to be ahead, sometimes behind.
