- Compute the roots of unity, the derivatives of complex functions, and identify Holomorphic functions.
- Identify and sketch conic sections, use polar and other coordinates to represent points in 2-D.
- Compute the vector and Cartesian equations of lines and planes, the derivatives of vector valued functions, and solve related problems.
- Determine the convergence of sequences and infinite series, calculate the radius of convergence and interval of convergence of power series and find the power series expansion of analytic functions.
