Analytic functions reshape the complex plane while locking every angle in place.
Holomorphic maps such as 1/z invert distances yet send circles and lines to circles and lines. The map z² doubles angles at the origin; the exponential turns rectangular grids into perfect polar coordinates.
Sine and cosine fold infinite strips into bounded lenses, always keeping the original grid orthogonal wherever the derivative is nonzero.
Conformality is the quiet guarantee that local shape survives global transformation.
