FIGURE 60<br />

257. Suppose one has chosen as the <strong>in</strong>itial po<strong>in</strong>t on an oriented cont<strong>in</strong>uous<br />

closed curve C the po<strong>in</strong>t A <strong>in</strong> one case <strong>and</strong> the po<strong>in</strong>t B <strong>in</strong> another<br />

case (Figure 61). If the variation <strong>of</strong> the argument along C <strong>in</strong> the segment<br />

AB (accord<strong>in</strong>g to the orientation <strong>of</strong> the curve C) is equal to <strong>and</strong> <strong>in</strong> the<br />

segment BA it is equal to then the variation <strong>of</strong> the argument along<br />

the entire curve C is evidently equal to<br />

cont<strong>in</strong>uous variation <strong>of</strong> then the function<br />

where describes the cont<strong>in</strong>uous variation <strong>of</strong> (cf.,<br />

226, 239). It follows that<br />

Answer. times. This result obviously also depends on the result <strong>of</strong><br />

Problem 246.<br />

d) If then (cf., 218(b)). Therefore if is<br />

a function which describes the cont<strong>in</strong>uous variation <strong>of</strong> then the<br />

function describes the cont<strong>in</strong>uous variation <strong>of</strong><br />

It follows that
