2. Understand the basis for certain key results and methods.
3. Develop the ability to do calculations involving complex numbers and complex functions.
4. Learn a few instances of how complex variables are applied in science, engineering, and mathematics.
5. Learn enough about Mathematica to use it effectively in dealing with complex variables and to be able learn more about Mathematica.

Mathematica is used as a tool for doing numeric and symbolic calculations and for visualizing complex functions.
