Relating Pairs of Non-Zero Simple Zeros of Analytic Functions Edwin G. Schasteen⇤ June 9‚ 2008 Abstract We prove a theorem that relates non-zero simple zeros z1 and z2 of two arbitrary analytic functions f and g‚ respectively. 1 Preliminaries Let C denote the set of Complex numbers‚ and let R denote the set of real numbers. We will be begin by describing some fundamental results from complex analysis that will be used in proving our main lemmas and theorems. For a description of

ObreroDate: October 7‚ 2014 Section: 116 Behavior of Gases and Determination of Absolute Zero Experiments 4&5 Introduction: First of all‚ the Boyle’s law (pressure-volume law) indicates that the volume of a certain amount of gas given held at a constant temperature differentiates inversely with the applied pressure when there are constant temperature and mass. Equations: PV=C. When pressure goes up‚ volume goes down (derived from the equation above): P1V1 = P2V2 =
