Proofreading pass over the Complex Analysis part (issue #315), covering tex/complex-ana/{holomorphic,meromorphic,log,quintic}.tex. Findings are mostly minor: typos, missing factors, and a couple of inverted statements.

holomorphic.tex

  • Cauchy's differentiation formula: the coefficient was written $c_k = \frac{f^{k}(p)}{k!}$; corrected the derivative notation to $f^{(k)}(p)$ (consistent with the lines immediately above and below).
  • Two references to the differentiation-formula integrand wrote the numerator as $f(w-p)$; corrected to $f(w)$ to match the theorem statement $\frac{1}{2\pi i}\oint_\gamma \frac{f(w)}{(w-p)^{k+1}},dw$.

meromorphic.tex

  • "Function with infinitely many poles" example: the function is $\frac{1}{\sin(z)}$ (poles at $z=\pi k$), but the Laurent-series computation was headed $\frac{1}{\sin(2\pi z)}$ while its expansion $\frac{1}{z/1! - z^3/3! + \cdots}$ is that of $\frac{1}{\sin z}$. Removed the spurious $2\pi$.
  • Minor grammar fixes in the geometric Argument Principle digression ("shuffle", "mean", "move/follow").

log.tex

  • Winding-number integral: restored the missing $i$, $\frac{1}{2\pi}\oint_\gamma \frac{f'}{f},dz \in 2\ZZ \to \frac{1}{2\pi i}\oint_\gamma \frac{f'}{f},dz \in 2\ZZ$ (matches the winding-number definition and Theorem on $n$th roots).
  • Worked square-root example: the surrounding text and the rendered diagram use the branch $-\tfrac\pi2 < \alpha \le \tfrac\pi2$, under which $-4 \mapsto 2i$. The example had written the interval as $-\tfrac\pi2 \le \alpha < \tfrac\pi2$ and the image as $-2i$ ("left edge"); made it consistent ($2i$, "right edge").

quintic.tex

  • Cubic-formula term: fixed two typos in the discriminant — inner $27a^{d} \to 27a^{2}d$ (matching the outer term) and $(b^{3}-3ac)^3 \to (b^{2}-3ac)^3$ (standard $\Delta_0 = b^2 - 3ac$).
  • Definition of solvable: was stated inverted ("if its derived series is nontrivial"); corrected to "if its derived series eventually becomes trivial", which is consistent with the goal of showing $S_5$ is not solvable (its derived series never reaches the trivial group).
  • Derived series description: "each group is the commutator subgroup of the next" → "of the previous" ($G^{(k+1)} = [G^{(k)}, G^{(k)}]$).
  • Minor grammar fixes ("what happens when we", "paths that don't go", stray comma).

No large mathematical errors were found in this part.

Corrects typos and small errors in the Complex Analysis chapters:

- holomorphic.tex: fix derivative notation f^{k} -> f^{(k)} in Cauchy's
  differentiation formula; fix numerator f(w-p) -> f(w) in two references
  to the differentiation-formula integrand.
- meromorphic.tex: the "infinitely many poles" example computes 1/sin(z)
  (not 1/sin(2 pi z), which mismatched its own series expansion); minor
  grammar fixes in the geometric Argument Principle digression.
- log.tex: restore missing i in winding-number integral 1/(2 pi) ->
  1/(2 pi i); make the worked sqrt example consistent with the stated
  branch interval (-pi/2, pi/2] (so -4 maps to 2i at the right edge).
- quintic.tex: fix cubic-formula typos (27a^d -> 27a^2d, (b^3-3ac) ->
  (b^2-3ac)); fix inverted definition of "solvable" (derived series
  eventually becomes trivial) and "commutator subgroup of the next"
  -> "previous"; minor grammar fixes.
