DEFINITION. Po<strong>in</strong>ts where the uniqueness <strong>of</strong> the cont<strong>in</strong>uous images<br />

<strong>of</strong> the curves is lost but that are not branch po<strong>in</strong>ts are called the nonuniqueness<br />

po<strong>in</strong>ts <strong>of</strong> the given function.<br />

When build<strong>in</strong>g the Riemann surfaces one should draw no cuts from<br />

the po<strong>in</strong>ts <strong>of</strong> non-uniqueness to <strong>in</strong>f<strong>in</strong>ity: <strong>in</strong> draw<strong>in</strong>g any curve these po<strong>in</strong>ts<br />

must always be avoided.<br />

Later we shall also consider functions which are not def<strong>in</strong>ed at some<br />

po<strong>in</strong>ts. These po<strong>in</strong>ts may, however, be branch po<strong>in</strong>ts.<br />

Solv<strong>in</strong>g the <strong>problems</strong> <strong>of</strong> this section we have always found that, after<br />

considered turned out to be decomposed <strong>in</strong>to cont<strong>in</strong>uous s<strong>in</strong>gle-valued<br />

branches which jo<strong>in</strong> to each other <strong>in</strong> a way def<strong>in</strong>ed by the cuts. This
