COMPLEX VARIABLES AND STATISTICAL METHODS

 Course Objectives:

 To familiarize the complex variables.

 To make the student capable of evaluating the integrals in complex domains

 To make the student capable of expanding a given function as a series and finding the poles

and residues

 To make the student capable of evaluating the integrals in complex domains using residue

theorem

 To familiarize the students with the foundations of probability and statistical methods.

 To equip the students to solve application problems in their disciplines.

Course Outcomes: At the end of the course students will be able to

● apply Cauchy-Riemann equations to complex functions in order to determine whether a given

continuous function is analytic (L3)

● find the differentiation and integration of complex functions used in engineering problems

(L5)

● make use of the Cauchy residue theorem to evaluate certain integrals (L3)

● apply discrete and continuous probability distributions (L3)

● design the components of a classical hypothesis test (L6)

● infer the statistical inferential methods based on small and large sampling tests (L4)
