2 Chapter 4 Elementary Functions
(iti) Since the complex sine function is periodic, the mapping w = sinz
is not one-to-one on the complex plane, Constructing a Riemann
surface, for this function, as described in the Remarks at the end
of Section 24 and Section 4.1, will help us vistalize the complex
mapping w = sinz. In order to construct a Riemann surface con-
sider the mapping on the square So defined by —/2 < x < x/2,
