Type: Erratum

Correction text:
The following items are derigeur when discussing Mobius xforms

1) "Fractional linear transformation" is a synonym. This
is very common usage, should be mentioned in the entry,
and added as a synonym

2) The geometric interpretation is that Mobius transformations
are the conformal (angle preserving) automorphisms of the sphere, or
equivalently the automorphisms of the sphere, when
the latter is regarded as a Riemann surface (complex structure)


 

Comment from object owner Koro:
How does that look?

If you want more, take ownership because you obviously know a lot more than me :)
