Extract

In obtaining a solution of Laplace's equation in two dimensions by the method of conformal mapping, one first maps the points (x, y) of the Euclidean plane R2 into the algebra of complex numbers C by means of the real-linear function g: R2→C using the prescription g(x, y) = x + iy ≡ z. One then obtains solutions of Laplace's equation by allowing those mappings of C into itself that are expressed by analytic functions.
