Making use of the generalized derivative operator, we introduce a new class of complex valued harmonic functions which are orientation preserving and univalent in the open unit disc and are related to uniformly convex functions. We investigate the coefficient bounds, neighborhood, and extreme points for this generalized class of functions. 1. Introduction A continuous complex-valued function f u iv defined in a simply connected complex domain D is said to be harmonic in D if both u and v are real harmonic in D. Such functions can be expressed as f h g, 1.1 where h and g are analytic in D. We call h the analytic part and g the coanalytic part of f . A necessary and sufficient condition for f to be locally univalent and sense preserving in D is that |hz| |g z| for all z in D see 1. Let H be the class of functions of the form 1.1 that are harmonic univalent and sense preserving in the
