The Application of Complex Variables Function and Residue Theorem

Abstract

The history of complex function can be dated back to about 18 century when Euler came up with two equations derived from integrals of complex function. Over the age, mathematicians have been trying to explore and discuss more in this mysterious field, and this new branch gradually became prevalent in the 19 century mathematics like when calculus ruled the 18 century mathematics. In particular, the concept of residue was invented and became an important part in complex function, being applied in some special types of real integral. Also it is a generalization of Cauchy integral theorem and Cauchy integral formula. Nowadays, the area of complex function is filled with crystallization of the wisdom of countless scholars and researchers, and the precious mathematical treasure can also meet the needs of other academic areas like physics and biology. Summarizing the various approaches and examples of application in fields of mathematics and others can be a valuable topic. In this paper, the history of application and some examples for references of complex functions, and introduce the main concepts and formulas about them will be briefly discussed, including the area of complex numbers, analytic function, and residue. There are some relationships between some of the applications to be dig out and considerable real-world problems, and they are supposed to the generalization of those subjects can provide certain enlightenment to people interested in or during the study in fields of complex function.
