Term
(Principal value of complex power)
z^a=? where a,z are complex numbers and z does not equal 0
Definition
Principal Value of z^a=e^(aLnz)
Term
(multiple valued Complex powers)
z^a=? where a,z are complex numbers and z does not equal 0
Definition
z^a = e^(alnz)
Term
complex sine function?
Definition
sinz = [e^(iz) - e^(-iz)]/(2i)
Term
complex cosine function?
Definition
cosz = [e^(iz) + e^(-iz)]/2
Term
initial and terminal point
Definition
Suppose a curve C in the plane is parametrized by a set of eqns x=x(t), y=y(t), d<=t<=e, where x(t), y(t) are continuous real fns. Then the initial and terminal points of C are (x(d),y(d)) and (x(e),y(e)), denoted by the symbols D and E -- d represents a and d represents b
Term
simple closed curve
Definition
Suppose a curve C in the plane is parametrized by a set of eqns x=x(t), y=y(t), d<=t<=e, where x(t), y(t) are continuous real fns. Then C is a simple closed curve if the curve C does not cross itself and D=E (simple and closed)
Term
smooth curve
Definition
Suppose a curve C in the plane is parametrized by a set of eqns x=x(t), y=y(t), d<=t<=e, where x(t), y(t) are continuous real fns. Then C is smooth if x' and y' are continuous on [d,e] and not simultaneously zero on (d,e)
Term
piecewise smooth curve
Definition
Suppose a curve C in the plane is parametrized by a set of eqns x=x(t), y=y(t), d<=t<=e, where x(t), y(t) are continuous real fns. Then C is piecewise smooth if consists of a finite # of smooth curves C1, C2, ..., Cn joined end
to end (terminal of k coincinding with initial of k+1)
Term
closed curve
Definition
Suppose a curve C in the plane is parametrized by a set of eqns x=x(t), y=y(t), d<=t<=e, where x(t), y(t) are continuous real fns. Then C is closed if D=E
Term
radius and circle of convergence for a power series
Definition
make physical flashcard based on top of pg.277
Term
lnz
Definition
lnz=log_e(z)+iarg(z)
Term
Lnz
Definition
log_e(z)+iArg(z)
Term
singularity
Definition
Let f be a complex number that fails to be analytic at z0. Then z0 is called a signularity.
Term
antiderivative of a complex function f
Definition
suppose that a fn f is continuous on a domain D. If there exists a fn F s.t. F'(z) for each z in D, then F is called an antiderivative of f.
