Abstract
The subject of conformai transformation comprises the study of methods whereby a geometrical field 1, characterized by an assemblage of points and lines may be transformed into another field 2, point by point and line by line, in such manner that an indefinitely small element of area in field 1 shall transform in field 2 into an element of similar geometrical form and proportions, while at the same time the aggregate in field 2 may be quite different from that in field 1.
