Problem 1: I am still a bit confused as to the geometric interpretation. If $ |f(z)|=c $ then doesn't this imply that f(z) could map the complex plane to a circle of radius $ c $? Also if $ f(z)=c<\math> then this means that the complex plane maps to a single point, correct? I've gone over the symbolic manipulation using the C-R-Equations and everything works out fine, but it doesn't completely convince me. Is it because the function is analytic?--~~~~ Professor Bell, For problem 7 on the practice problem worksheet, would it be valid to just let be z equal to the curve R*exp(it) in the integrand and take the limit as R goes to infinity, of the integral showing that the integrand approaches 0 and thus the integral goes to 0?--[[User:Apdelanc|Adrian Delancy]] Adrian, no that isn't enough because the ''length'' of the curve goes to infinity at the same time that the integrand goes to zero. It is a more subtle problem and you need to use the estimate that I used in class today. --[[User:Bell|Steve Bell]] See my notes at [http://www.math.purdue.edu/~bell/MA425/Lectures/lec10-05.pdf lec10-05.pdf] $
