When we map the algebraic function, [itex]w(z)[/itex], to a Riemann surface we essentially create a new "Riemann" coordinate system over a surface that is called the "algebraic function's Riemann surface".
This mapping allows one to create single-valued functions, [itex]f(z,w),[/itex] of the coordinate points over this surface, including the underlying algebraic function [itex]f(z,w)=w[/itex], that are single-valued, analytic functions except at special points called singular points.
May I ask what exactly is this type of mapping called?
