Complex Analysis

• Analytic functions and Cauchy-Riemann equations
• Contour integration and Cauchy's theorem
• Residue theorem and applications
• Conformal mappings
• Power series representations

Topology

• Topological spaces
• Compactness and connectedness

Algebra

• Rings and ideals (in context of function spaces)

Decision Tree

1. Measure/Integration Problem?

   • Use Lebesgue dominated convergence
   • Check Fatou's lemma for liminf/limsup
   • Apply Fubini-Tonelli for iterated integrals

2. Complex Analysis Problem?

   • Check analyticity via Cauchy-Riemann
   • For integrals: residue theorem
   • For mappings: Schwarz lemma, conformal properties

3. Functional Analysis?

   • Riesz representation for duals
   • Hahn-Banach for extensions
   • Open mapping/closed graph theorems
