Complex Analysis (Math Course)

Hi all,

I know this is an untraditional question but it seems like there are many math majors here that can hopefully provide me with some advice. I am currently thinking about moving away from a physics concentration to mathematics. I've taken proofs and am thinking about taking complex analysis next fall. Can someone briefly explain how this course was and if I should take real analysis first before complex analysis. Thanks for your time.

I took Complex Analysis before Real Analysis. I think the people with Real Analysis background had more familiarity with the types of proofs involved (lots of epsilon, delta), but I did well in the class and I am not a math genius.

Usually complex analysis is a bit more focused on applications than real analysis. It often lies halfway between, say a PDE class and a real analysis class in terms of rigor.

Even if you want to continue in physics, complex analysis will serve you well.
