The mapping of tex2html_wrap_inline252 .

Figure 2: Mapping via tex2html_wrap_inline254 . Region mapped is shown in the next figure.

Figure 3: The region of the z-plane being mapped. Find the images of the the solid lines in the figure above.  

Any sector of opening angle tex2html_wrap_inline348 centered around the origin maps into the whole w-plane. In fact, any wedge at the origin in z is has its opening angle doubled by this mapping, but wedges elsewhere have there opening angle preserved. The polar map in Figure 4 depicts the range, tex2html_wrap_inline354 Lines of constant x,y map into parabolas. Practice: find the image of each of the solid lines of Figure 3 in Figure 4. Mapping is conformal everywhere but at the origin and infinity. Straight line from tex2html_wrap_inline358 to tex2html_wrap_inline360 maps into a ``keyhole'' contour around the origin.
