Update (4/27/2012): By this point in the course, we are not really following the syllabus below very closely. The notes listed do not have that much resemblance to the corresponding descriptions anymore, so all the notes are listed at the bottom of this page with more descriptive naems.
The following tables lists the proposed schedule for the class. All chapter sections refer to Complex Analysis by Stein and Shakarchi.
