  1. Consider a 2-dimensional map \((x,y)\to (u,v)\). Explain: If the map is given by an analytic function [\(u+iv=f(x+iy)\)] and at some point \(z_0=x_0+iy_0\) the derivative \(f'(z_0)\ne 0\), then this map preserves small shapes in the vicinity of \(z_0\).
  2. Is a square conformally equivalent to a circle?
  3. Explain: A map by analytic function preserves Laplace’s equation.

\item[(a)] Consider a 2-dimensional map \((x,y)\to(u,v)\). Explain: If the map is given by
an analytic function [\(u+iv=f(x+iy)\)] and at some point \(z_0=x_0+iy_0\) the derivative
\(f'(z_0)\ne0\), then this map preserves small shapes in the vicinity of \(z_0\).

\item[(b)] Is a square conformally equivalent to a circle?

\item[(c)] Explain: A map by analytic function preserves Laplace's equation.
