The exam

Here is the exam of 30-10-2014

The text

The course uses Applied Complex Variables for Scientists and Engineers by Yue Kuen Kwok. The numbering of the problems on the slides is as in the second edition, for those who have the first edition: the problem pages from the second edition can be found here.
