 Conformal map 

In cartography, a map projection is called conformal if it preserves the angles at all but a finite number of points. Examples include the Mercator projection and the stereographic projection. It is impossible for a map projection to be both conformal and equal-area[?].


In complex analysis, a conformal map is a function f : U -> C (where U is an open subset of the complex numbers C) which maintains angles, and therefore the shape of small figures. A function f is conformal if and only if it is holomorphic and its derivative is everywhere non-zero.

(In other words, "conformal" means the almost same thing in cartography that it means in complex analysis.)

An important statement about conformal maps is the Riemann mapping theorem.

The excitement into which jealousy had thrown him, had been suddenly his partial intoxication, had already begun to set in; to.
