Abstract

The Complex Analysis course is often a challenge for students of the Tadris Mathematics study program. This study aims to identify and analyze the difficulties experienced by students in understanding Complex Analysis material. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques in the form of tests and interviews. The research subjects were sixth semester students of Tadris Mathematics study program of UIN K.H. Abdurrahman Wahid Pekalongan who were taking Complex Analysis course. The results showed that students had difficulty in understanding the basic concepts of Complex Analysis. Factors that cause these difficulties include a lack of understanding of basic mathematical concepts, and a lack of ability to apply theorems.

The implication of this research is the need for the preparation of more effective learning strategies and the development of learning resources that can help students overcome difficulties in learning Complex Analysis courses. This research reveals some of the main obstacles faced by students in this course. These difficulties are mainly caused by the lack of understanding of basic concepts that form the basis of Complex Analysis, such as complex functions, derivatives, and integrals. In addition, students also show weaknesses in applying the theorems taught in problem-solving situations. Based on these findings, it is recommended that instructors and educational institutions design more interactive and adaptive teaching methods, such as using innovative educational technologies, providing a greater variety of practice problems, and connecting subject matter to real-world applications. This approach is expected to increase student understanding and improve the overall quality of learning in the Complex Analysis course.
