- Use elementary analytic functions like the exponential and logarithmic functions, trigonometric functions, polynomials and rational functions.
- Use residue calculations as integration method and find the Taylor or Laurent series of a given function.
- Attain insight in the problem of multiple solutions of the complex logarithm and the square root.
- Describe the maximum principle, Liouville's theorem and the fundamental theorem of algebra.
