This online course is about Complex Variables, one of the very important subjects of mathematics.   This course serves as a basis and provides a solid background rich in both theory and applications.  At the end of this course the student should be able to understand the theory of complex functions in one variable and its applications. It should provide a solid teaching background if the student goes to secondary teaching.  It should prepare the student for graduate studies as well as in later interdisciplinary courses like Analytic Number Theory, where Complex Variables plays a major role in handling problems in Number Theory.
