'''Geometric function theory''' is the study of [[Geometry|geometric]] properties of [[analytic function]]s. A fundamental result in the theory is the [[Riemann mapping theorem]].
==Topics in geometric function theory==
The following are some of the most important topics in geometric function theory:<ref>Hurwitz-Courant, ''Vorlesunger über allgemeine Funcktionen Theorie'', 1922 (4th ed., appendix by H. Röhrl, vol. 3, ''Grundlehren der mathematischen Wissenschaften''. Springer, 1964.)</ref><ref>MSC classification for 30CXX, Geometric Function Theory, retrieved from http://www.ams.org/msc/msc2010.html on September 16, 2014.</ref>

A '''conformal map''' is a [[function (mathematics)|function]] which preserves [[angle]]s locally. In the most common case the function has a [[Domain of a function|___domain]] and [[Range
More formally, a map,

Then, |''f''(''z'')| ≤ |''z''| for all ''z'' in '''D''' and |''f′''(0)| ≤ 1.
Moreover, if |''f''(''z'')| = |''z''| for some non-zero ''z'' or if |''f′''(0)| = 1, then ''f''(''z'') = ''az'' for some ''a'' in '''C''' with |''a''|
