10 35 1 5 3 3 1 5 1 97 1 5 28 19 Let a function f x be defined in the neighborhood of a point x = x 0. Form the difference-quotient 1 f x 0 + Δx - f x 0 Δx where x 0 + Δx is a point of the above neighborhood distinct from x 0. If the quotient approaches a limit as Δx approaches 0 the function is said to have a derivative or be differentiable at the point x 0. We write f x 0 + Δx - f x 0 2 lim = D Δx = 0 Δx x y = f' x 0. Ist x 0 ein innerer Punkt des Intervalls und kon- If the ratio 1 approaches a limit when Δx approaches 0 passing only through positive values f x is said to have a forward derivative. And gegen einen Grenzwert so definiert man letzvergiert Δy /Δx beim Grenzübergange limδx = 0 similarly for a backward derivative. If and only if these two are equal teren als die Ableitung der Funktion f x im will f x have a derivative in the point x 0. But if x 0 is an end point of Punkte x 0 und bezeichnet ihn mit f' x 0 the domain of definition of f x then f x is said to have a derivative in the point x 0 if the forward or backward derivative exists. If a function has a derivative in a point the function is continuous in the point. But the converse is not true as will presently be shown. If the difference-quotient 1 becomes infinite as Δx approaches 0 the function is said to have an infinite derivative. In particular we may have lim Δx = 0 + f x 0 + Δx - f x 0 = + or - Δx and similarly for limδx = 0 -. When however we say of a function hat eine Ableitung verstehen sofern das Gegenteil nicht ausdrücklich bemerkt ist daβ that it has a derivative we shall use the word only in the sense of a proper derivative and exclude the case that the difference-quotient becomes eine endliche Ableitung d. h. ein eigentlicher infinite. Grenzwert vorliegt. If f x has a derivative at every point of an interval open or not the function is said to be differentiable in the interval. Sei die Funktion y = f x für alle Werte von x in einem Intervalle eindeutig erkl rt und seien x 0 x 0 + Δx zwei Punkte des Intervalls. Man bilde den Differenzen-quotienten Δy Δx = f x 0 + Δx - f x 0 Δx Wird f x 0 + Δx - f x 0 lim = f' x Δx = 0 Δ 0. x lim Δx = 0 f x 0 + Δx - f x 0 = + - Δ x so sagt man f x hat im Punkte x 0 eine unendliche Ableitung und nennt zum Gegensatz die eigentliche Ableitung eine endliche Ableitung.

Then 1 5 w = z m 28 259 ~ 260 Ist m eine positive ganze Zahl so ist die Funktion f z = z m in der ganzen z-ebene eindeutig und analytisch. Da die Ableitung f' z = mz m - 1 im Punkte z = 0 sonst aber nirgends verschwindet sofern m > 1 ist so erweist sich damit die Abbildung der Umgebung eines beliebigen Punktes z 0 0 auf die w-ebene als ein-eindeutig und kon- R cosφ + isinφ = r a cosαφ + isinαφ. form. Hence 2 R = r α Φ = αφ + 2kπ. Setzt man z = r cosφ + isinφ Thus a circle about the origin z = 0 goes over into a circle about the origin w = 0. Consider a sector of a circle w = R cosφ + isinφ So führt die Gleichung w = z m 3 0 r r 1 0 φ φ 1 zu den Relationen Let = αφ and assume that αφ 1 = π 1 < α. Let r 1 = 1 then R 1 = 1.

If for example 0 Φ π α = 2 the points on the circle r = 1 beschr nken und zugleich k = 0 nehmen. Dadurch wird φ zu einer eindeutigen Funktion von Φ in diesem Intervall.

1 15 William Fogg Osgood and the Dissemination of Theories of Functions in China GUO Jinhai Institute for the History of Natural Sciences CAS Beijing 100190 China Abstract As a research professor of the National University of Peking William Fogg Osgood 1934 ~ 1936 the well-known American mathematician and Harvard University mathematics department professor taught at the mathematics department of the National University of Peking from 1934 to 1936. He mainly offered courses on theories of functions and was the first foreign mathematician to systematically disseminate the theories of functions in China. During this period he wrote two books published by the University Press in 1936 Functions of Real Variables and Functions of a Complex Variable. Some of the content of these two books originated from his Lehrbuch der Funktionentheorie though considerably adapted. They are the earliest textbooks on these subjects published in China. The manuscript of Functions of Real Variables was his teaching materials for the course on theories of functions of real variables. Functions of a Complex Variable is closely related to the content of the course of theories of functions of a complex variable. His teaching activities not only made the department's courses about theories of functions more specialized promoted the dissemination of theories of functions in China but also gave students training in the mode of Harvard University narrowing the gap between them at the international level.
