"How ellipses wouls look like" means the directions and relative size of their semi-axis. See frame 4 of MAT244_W8L3 handout

For higher order equations it is covered in MAT244-LEC0201-W6L2 (see modules). It is mandatory material.

you need to write it, if you hope for any answer

Indeed, instead of $\log(\pm w)$ with $+2\pi mi$ we write $\log(w)$  with $+\pi mi$ since $\log (-w)=\log(w)+\i i$

Of some fundamental set (remember a constant factor!)

Yes, some of them are geometric series, and some of $e^{z}$, $\sin(z)$, $\sinh(z)$ and so on. However some can be derived from those, ether by substitution (f.e. $z^2$ instead of $z$), some by integration, differentiation, multiplication by $z^m$ or combination of both. F.e. consider geometric $\dfrac{1}{1-z}$. Integratinfg we can get power series for $-\Log (1-z)$, diffeerentiating for $\frac{1}{(1-z)^m}$ ,...

Chapter 2 / Re: Problem of Section 2.6 Q28

Hi there, I think there might be some problem with Q28. After I found the integrating factor and then solve for the solution, it's impossible to find the solution of my h(y) in this case (see the last line of my writing).

If you found an integrating factor correctly there should be no problem to $h(y)$. There is a problem with your solution, not with the problem.

In the textbook, it is e^(-2y). Maybe this one is correct.

Both are correct

is du/dx+i dv/dx? Why can't we take the derivative with respect to y?

You can take also derivative by $y$ but you need to multiply it by $i$ (think why)

Try to solve it by yourself (it follows right from the definition)

Chapter 1 / Re: why complex plane closed

« on: October 03, 2020, 04:46:26 AM »

why the complex plane is both open and closed? why did it close? Because by definition, a set is called closed if it contains its boundary. And I don't see the complex plane contains its boundary.

And what is the boundary of $\mathbb{C}$?

You should remember that each segment of the polygonal curve may be served not by two discs, but several discs (think why)

This "meaning" has no sense. You should worry about math, not about this crasp

Almost done, but you need also define interval, on which solution exists; it must include $0$
