Why do I have to learn this for physics? What use is rudimentary complex analysis going to have for a physics degree?
Pic related, an example of my work.

Because it's going to appear everywhere in your graduate courses.

Well contour integration crops up pretty regularly even in undergrad, if you're the type to do a lot of extra reading. And then there's what >>7926286 says.

Conformal maps/ fluid dynamics

>asking why you need basic complex analysis for physics

why would you even ask this question anyway?
it's math, which is basically the skeleton of physics
i would understand if you were ranting about how you had to have a certain amount of humanities hours to get a physics degree, but math?
physics is basically the science of turning word problems into math problems

if you're actually serious about this i'm worried about you

The purpose of school is to learn facts.
The purpose of a university study is to learn to think. And the example you have is exactly that: an example of a whetstone to sharpen your mind.

Similar analysis is used in EM theory, plasma physics, thermodynamics and more.

Sounds like you have a lot more problems in your life than just physics
