Syllabus. It contains the basic information about prerequisites, grading, test dates, the text and so forth.

Texts:

We will use several texts, mostly as references. All are free and available online:
Complex Variables by R. B. Ash and W. P. Novinger.
An Introduction to Complex Analysis and Geometry by John P. D’Angelo .
An Introduction to Complex Analysis for Engineers by Michael D. Alder.
Complex Variables: A Physical Approach, by Steven G. Krantz.
Guide to Cultivating Complex Analysis by Jiří Lebl. This is more advanced, but is a reference for some proofs we may skip.

LaTeX basics:
LaTeX is a program for typesetting mathematics which is the standard for submitting papers to mathematics journals. Since you will be submitting homework and tests as pdf documents via Blackboard, it may be worth time to learn to use LaTeX. The link just given (based on a tutorial written by Maria Girardi) gives the basics of using LaTeX and links to the website Overleaf which has a free online editor for LaTeX.
