Figure 3.3: Surface plot <strong>of</strong> sin(z) in the complex plane, using an RGB color wheel to<br />

represent the phase. Red indicates real positive values.<br />

Since r<br />

�n < ∞. The Weierstraß M-test thus yields that<br />

n=0 an(z −z0) n converges absolutely and uniformly on Br[z0].<br />

Since every z ∈ BR(z0) is contained in Br[z0] for some r ∈ [0,R), it follows that<br />

� ∞<br />

n=0 an(z −z0) n converges absolutely for each such z.<br />

Let z /∈ BR[z0], i.e. |z −z0|> R, so that<br />
