Teaching:
Courses for Spring semester, 2024-2025:
- MATH2352: Differential Equations
-
- Main reference book: Elementary Differential Equations and Boundary Value Problems. This is a classic textbook on introductory differential equations. The latest edition is already the 12th edition. But any edition above and including the 7th edition can be used.
- Study notes will be available before the start of the first lecture.
- Prerequsite waive: students who want to join this course with alternative qualifications other than the one stated in the course prereqsites should discuss with me IN PERSON AFTER the start of semester. Alternativew documentations will be needed for this purpose.
- MATH5030: Complex Function Theory
- Curriculum: Review of basic properties of holomorphic functions. Phragmen-Lindelof principle, normal families, Riemann mapping theorem, Weiestrass factorization theorem, Schwarz reflection principle, analytic continuation, harmonic functions, entire functions, Hadamard factorization theorem, Picard's theorems.
- Main reference books:
- J. B. Conway, Functions of One Complex Variable, 2nd edition, Spring-Verlag.
- L V. Ahlfors, Complex Analysis, 3rd edition, McGraw Hill
- Study notes will be available before the start of the first lecture.
- Prerequsite waive: students who want to join this course with alternative qualifications other than the one stated in the course prereqsites should discuss with me IN PERSON AFTER the start of semester. Alternativew documentations will be needed for this purpose.
Minor program:
- Students intrerested in joining Mathematics Minor program should study the information about the program and application procedure here.
- In addition to the application procedure mentioned, you should also submit your study plan by filling out the mathematics courses that you plan to take or have already taken to fulfill the Math Minor from the template in Excel format together with the documents. The course information received will be used to monitor your progress of the minor program in the future.
- For enquiries and applications, you can write to me (and cc to our secretary Ms. Debbie Poon).
- Student who intent to withdraw from the math minor program after joining should provide a reason for their withdrawal applications
Conferences: Cosmology since Einstein (30th May to 1st June 2011), Frontiers of Nevanlinna Theory (2011-12)
S. T. Yau's HKUST talks on mathematics (in Cantonese):
Dick Askey's Distinguished Lecture given at IAS (UST) lecture (3/6/ 2010)
Special function handbooks:
