variable:
Let S be a set of complex numbers.
Then function f defined on S is a
rule that assigns to each z S a
unique complex number w, and we
write f (z) = w
The set S is called domain of
definition of f.
Let z = x+ i y &
w = u (x,y) +i v(x,y)
z = x+iy = re i ,

f(z)-w0

The point at infinity:
The point at infinity is denoted by

together with the point at infinity is
called the Extended complex
Plane.

such that
f(z) - f(z 0 )
whenever z z0 .
• The function f(z) is said to be
continuous in a region R if it is
continuous at all points of the
region R.

If f ( z ) u ( x, y ) iv ( x, y ), then
f ( z ) is continuous iff
Re f ( z ) u ( x, y ) and
Im f ( z ) v( x, y )
are continuous.
