Problem 1 (15 points)
2 points for a sketch of the contour.
6 points for the residue
computation.
6 points for showing that the ML estimate makes the
integral over the "other" part of the contour go to 0.
1 point for getting the answer.
3 points for the correct extra credit answer.
Problem 2 (14 points)
a) 7 points. simply and simple each get 1 point, properly used. The
equation itself gets 3 points. The other "stuff" gets 2 points.
b) 7 points. The answer, and some method for getting it.
Problem 3 (15 points)
The singularity at 0 can earn 7 points. The other singularities can
earn 8 points.
At 0, 1 point for the statement that the singularity is removable and
1 point for the value of the residue. The other 5 points are for some
supporting evidence.
Similar scoring will be used for the
non-zero singularities: 1 point for the residue and 1 point for
identifying the singularity as a pole and 1 point for giving the order
of the pole. Again, supporting evidence can earn 5 points.
Problem 4 (12 points)
a) 8 points. Apply Liouville's Theorem (2 points) to a "correct"
function (4 points) and get the conclusion (2 points).
b) 4 points. 2 for the assertion that the exponential function does
not have modulus bounded away from 0. 2 more points for explaining
why.

2 points for information about a power series for sin(z).
3 points for information about a power series for
1/(z-1)2.
5 points for combining them usefully (multiplication, division,
etc.)
Then 4 points for each of the correct terms in the answer.
An alternative unrecommended direct approach is possible. So computing
correctly f(k)(0) will earn k points, where k is an integer
running from 1 to 4. Thus computing f(0) itself earns nothing
(sigh). Assembling the terms in the Taylor series (with the
factorials) earns, as above, 4 points for each of the correct terms in
the answer.
a) 4 points. Many correct answers are possible, and if another answer
(inferentially) needs to be chosen to answer d), that's o.k. 2 points
for excluding 1, and 2 points for making a correct "cut" in C.
b) 2 points for the correct answer.
c) 2 points for the correct answer.
d) 7 points. Some derivatives of sqrt(z) will earn 2 points. This
should be a series in integer powers of z-1. Each correct term will
earn 1 point.
5 points for instantiating the conventional "dictionary" changing this
to a complex line integral. Finding the singularities of the integrand
and manipulating it algebraically correctly earns another 5
points. Applying the Residue Theorem, and computing the correct
residue and getting the correct answer earns the final 5 points. The
not-uncommon error of failing to compensate for the fact that the
dictionary response does not get a monic polynomial will lose 2 points
(this usually yields an extra b in the answer).
