I would call this "concatenation of contours" rather than "join"; this appears to be less ambiguous. --Lord_Farin (talk) 19:17, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
- Feel free to rename the page; "join" is what Christian Berg calls it, but he is better at math than at English. The nomenclature of complex analysis is a real mess, and I've read about joining of curves and concatenation of paths in different books when the authors meant exactly the same thing.
- By the way, the definition of "contour" is also unusual - most sources describe a contour as an equivalence class of a collection of smooth paths, and the function $\gamma$ is a parameterization of the contour. I intend to write some pages about this. --Anghel (talk) 21:45, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
- At this point, the complex analysis section is virtually non-existent, which is even less useful than being named idiosyncratically. Move completed. --Lord_Farin (talk) 21:57, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
