Complex Analysis: A First Course with Applications, by Dennis G. Zill and Patrick D. Shanahan, is a truly accessible introduction to the fundamental principles and applications of complex analysis. Designed for the undergraduate student with a calculus background but no prior experience with complex analysis, this text discusses the theory of the most relevant mathematical topics in a student-friendly manner. The WebAssign component provides students with instant question feedback and links to the appropriate section of an eBook.
Question 1 uses special grading to check that the complex number is written in both the correct polar form and correct
a +
bi form, respectively.
Question 2 uses list grading that lets a student enter all the roots in one blank.
Question 3 uses differential equation grading to test the validity of the answer. This question accepts any correct form of the answer and runs student responses through a series of tests to ensure the assumptions and requirements of the question are met.
Question 4 asks a student to find an image in terms of
u and
v. The question allows the student to enter any mathematically equivalent version of the question.
Question 5 utilizes special grading so a student can enter the arbitrary solutions as a comma-separated list of answers.
Question 7 illustrates vector grading.
Question 9 uses series grading, which allows any correct version of the series based on the summation index. It also includes an answer of INFINITY. For
R, try entering both INFINITY and ∞.
This demo assignment allows many submissions and allows you to try another version of the same question for practice wherever the problem has randomized values.
