n. a person or business which performs services for another person or entity under a contract between them, with the terms spelled out such as duties, pay, the amount and type of work and other matters. An independent contractor is distinguished from an employee, who works regularly for an employer.
Conformal Mapping. or conformal transformation (in mathematics), a mapping of one figure (region) to another in which any two curves intersecting at a certain angle at an interior point of the first figure are transformed into curves that intersect at the same angle in the second figure.hat this conformal mapping is realized with the aid of the function of the complex variable zâ = z 2. It is not difficult to ascertain that in this case the half-lines parallel to the sides of the angle are transformed into half-parabolas with a common focus at Oâ (Figure 3).
Conservation of Angle: A conformal mapping of two continuous arcs that locally form an angle in the z-plane will generate two continuous arcs seperated by the same local angle in the w-plane.onformal Mapping. map1 Figure 1 An example of a conformal mapping between the z-plane, z=x+iy, and the w-plane, w(z)=u(x,y)+iv(x,y), according to mapping function w=z2. In this example, the shaded region in the z-plane maps to the shaded region in the w-plane.
