Definition talk:Concatenation of Contours

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)
