Warmups

• Do any example from here

• 

• Anything from the homeworks

• Show that \(f'=0 \implies f\) is constant using integrals and primitives (i.e. antiderivatives).

See S&S Corollary 3.4.

Questions

• Can every continuous function on \(\overline{{\mathbb{D}}}\) be uniformly approximated by polynomials in the variable \(z\)?

Hint: compare to Weierstrass for the real interval.

• Suppose \(f\) is analytic, defined on all of \({\mathbf{C}}\), and for each \(z_0 \in {\mathbf{C}}\) there is at least one coefficient in the expansion \(f(z) = \sum_{n=0}^\infty c_n(z-z_0)^n\) is zero. Prove that \(f\) is a polynomial.

Hint: use the fact that \(c_n n! = f^{(n)}(z_0)\) and use a countability argument.
