he concept of a Function of Complex Variable:
qfforeach value’ ‘ofacomplex variable z(=x-+ iy) there corresponds one or more values of another complex
robe (=ut iv) then ww is said to be a function of z. In this section, the term function will mean a single

valved function, ie., for one value of z we shall have unique value of w. This is written as w=f(2)-
