3.1 INTRODUCTION

Aconformal mapping, also called a conformal map or conformal transformation, is


atransformation that preserves local angles. An analytic function isconformal at any
point where it has a nonzero derivative. Conformal mappings are useful for solving
problems in engineering and physics that can be expressed in terms of functions of
acomplex variable but exhibit-inconvenient geometrics. By choosing an appropriate
mapping, the inconvenient geometry can be transformed into a much more convenient
geometry.

3.2 CONFORMAL MAPPINGS


Conformal mapping transforms curves from one complex plane to another with respect
to size and orientation. If the point z (x, y) describes some curve C in the z-plane, the
point w(u, v) describes a corresponding curve C in the w-plane. Hence, for each point
(, y) in the z-plane, there corresponds a point (u, v) in the w-plane. Thus, a curve Cin
he z-plane is mapped into the corresponding curve C in the w-plane by the mapping
w=fz).

Solution
The mapping is not conformal at critical points, i.e., where f() =0.
