๐น๏ธ Practice arcade
Extra games, not extra homework โ timed sprints, survival runs that end when your lives run out, and mastery drills built from the same skills Complex Analysis teaches.
โก Sprints
Beat the clock.
โก Polar Form Readiness Sprint
Modulus, argument, De Moivre's Theorem, and nth roots of complex numbers โ the polar-form toolkit every later chapter leans on.
โก Sequences and Power Series Readiness Sprint
Sequence limits, the ratio test, geometric series, and a power series' own coefficients and center โ the calc-II toolkit chapter 8 leans on.
๐ข Complex Arithmetic & Modulus Sprint
Multiply two complex numbers for the real part, find z times its own conjugate, or find |z| -- the three arithmetic facts everything else in this course leans on.
๐ Argument, Growth & Limits Sprint
Multiply an argument by n under De Moivre's theorem, find |e^z| (the imaginary part never touches it), or evaluate a polynomial limit by straight substitution.
๐ Contour Integral Theorems Sprint
Bound a contour integral with ML, evaluate one exactly with the Cauchy Integral Formula, or with the Residue Theorem -- three different guarantees about the same walk around a curve.
โพ๏ธ Series & Contour-Counting Sprint
Find a power series' radius of convergence, read a residue straight off a Laurent expansion, or turn a winding argument change into a zero-minus-pole count.
๐บ๏ธ Conformal Mapping & Special Functions Sprint
Find z^n's local scale factor, average a harmonic boundary function down to its center value, or climb the Gamma function with its own functional equation.
๐ Complex Logarithm & Powers Sprint
Track a logarithm's imaginary part across branches, or find a real number raised to a purely imaginary power -- both land exactly where $e^{i\theta}$ says they should.
โ Cauchy-Riemann & Differentiability Sprint
Solve for the missing coefficient that makes Cauchy-Riemann hold at a point, or find an entire polynomial's own derivative directly by the power rule -- two different routes to the same complex-differentiability question.
๐ฏ Identity & Maximum Principle Sprint
Use the Identity Theorem to force an entire function's value far from where it was defined, or find a linear harmonic function's own maximum over a closed disk.
๐ Continuity & Complex Trig Sprint
Patch a removable discontinuity with the right limit value, or split $\sin z$ into its real part via $\sin x\cosh y$ -- neither one needs anything beyond direct substitution.
๐ Contour Integration Techniques Sprint
Parametrize a non-analytic integrand by hand around a circle, or lean on path independence and an antiderivative instead -- two genuinely different ways to evaluate a contour integral.
๐ Maximum Modulus & Taylor Coefficient Sprint
A boundary bound on $|f|$ that the Maximum Modulus Principle refuses to shrink for any interior point, or a Taylor coefficient's own derivative recovered by multiplying back in the missing $n!$.
๐งฎ Residue Calculus Toolkit Sprint
Read a pole-of-order-n residue off a polynomial's own leading coefficient, apply the simple-pole quotient shortcut, or find the residue at infinity from three finite ones -- three different ways into the same number.
๐ Residue Applications & Rouche's Theorem Sprint
Close a semicircular contour to evaluate a real improper integral, or let Rouche's theorem hand you an exact zero count without ever locating a single zero.
๐บ๏ธ Mobius Maps & Riemann Sphere Sprint
Evaluate a bilinear transformation at a point, or project a point in the plane onto the Riemann sphere and read off its height.
๐ก๏ธ Conformal Mapping Applications Sprint
A wedge-shaped plate's steady-state temperature turns into a plain linear interpolation in the angle once the boundary condition is set up right.
๐ Survival
Each miss costs a life โ lose them all and the run ends.
๐ฏ Mastery
No clock โ just get N in a row.
๐งฎ Conjugate Reciprocal Mastery
Use the conjugate to find the real part of $1/z$ โ four in a row.
๐ฏ Geometric Series Check
A geometric distribution's own validity leans on this convergence test โ get it right four times in a row.
๐ฏ Argument Quadrant Precision
A quadrant slip is the classic modulus/argument mistake โ read a, b's signs correctly six times in a row.
๐งญ Harmonic Conjugates & Analytic Continuation Mastery
Construct a harmonic conjugate's leading coefficient by hand, or track a branch point's monodromy around a multi-loop path -- four clean answers in a row, no clock.
๐งญ Cauchy-Goursat & Liouville Mastery
An integral that vanishes because the integrand never sees a singularity inside the contour, or a bounded entire function that's secretly constant everywhere -- trust the theorem, not the numbers in front of you.
๐ Schwarz Lemma & Schwarz-Pick Mastery
The sharpest possible modulus bound the Schwarz Lemma allows, or the sharpest possible derivative bound Schwarz-Pick allows -- five clean bounds in a row, no clock.
