MAT334 Complex Variables

Explanation Fall 2018: Assigned Exercises (Home Assignments) mainly from
Stephen D. Fisher. Complex Variables 2nd Edition (Dover Books on Mathematics). ISBN-13: 978–0486406794,ISBN-10: 0486406792 and some extra problems, posted on this cite.

Home assignments will be neither submitted, nor graded but... there will be 7 quizzes of duration 15–20 min. from the assigned homework. Each consecutive quiz covers homework from the previous quiz up to and including the week preceding the week this quiz is administered.
You may discuss home assignments on forum.
