Case 1
w = z2
Hence The first quadrant of the complex plane maps to the top half-
plane under this mapping, since the angle range 0 /2 maps to the
range 0 .
We note that in general, the mapping w = f (z) = z2 will not be 1–1. For
example, the points z both map to the same w.
Case 2

Let us now write w = f(z) = z in cartesian coordinates. Setting w = u +
iv, z = x + iy, we obtain u + iv = (x2 - y2) + 2xyi. That is, (x, y) (x2 - y2,
2xy).
w = 0.

This is the circle with centre (1/2c, 0), passing through the origin O.
The line y = c maps onto the ray = c (excluding the end-point O) in a 1-1
fashion. Similarly,
The line x = c maps onto the circle = ec. However, here, an infinite
number of points on the line map to each image point.

As a particular case, the strip 0 < y < maps to the upper half plane >
0, 0 < < of the w-plane.

The curve given by Equation is identified as a hyperbola in the uv plane
that has foci at the points . Therefore the vertical line is
mapped one-to-one onto the branch of the hyperbola given by Equation

V. The Transforamtion w = Tan z
The transformation is a one-to-one conformal mapping of the vertical
strip onto the disk .
Solution. Recall Equations (5-32) and (5-34), which are complex trigonometric
identities:
and .
and .
The transformation maps the vertical strip one-to-one and onto the
