unit disk (Definition)

The unit disk in the complex plane, denoted $ \Delta$, is defined as $ \{ z \in {\mathbb{C}}: \vert z\vert < 1 \}$. The unit circle, denoted $ \partial\Delta$ or $ S^1$ is the boundary $ \{z \in {\mathbb{C}}: \vert z\vert=1 \}$ of the unit disk $ \Delta$. Every element $ z \in \partial\Delta$ can be written as $ z=e^{i \theta}$ for some real value of $ \theta$.
