What do S1 and S2 look like on the complex plane under e^z?

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on finding the images of the sets S1 and S2 under the mapping w = e^z in the complex plane. S1 is defined as the set of complex numbers where the imaginary part is between 0 and π, while S2 includes complex numbers with a positive real part and the same imaginary range. The professor indicates that the resulting image is {ω = u + iv : v > 0}, suggesting that the output will have a positive imaginary component. Participants express confusion about visualizing these sets and applying the relevant equations. Overall, the conversation highlights the challenge of understanding complex mappings and visual representations in the complex plane.

You might start by identifying what the set, S1 and S2 are.
 
The answer the professor has is {ω= u + iv : v > 0}.

I really do not understand how to use the equations and arrive here. I HAVE to be missing something simple. I really appreciate any help that can push me into the right direction

So, do you know what the sets S1 and S2 look like on the complex plane ?

(I tried to push you this way earlier.)

I do not know what it looks like in the complex plane. What can I do to help me visualize it?
I really appreciate the help
 
Question: A clock's minute hand has length 4 and its hour hand has length 3. What is the distance between the tips at the moment when it is increasing most rapidly?(Putnam Exam Question) Answer: Making assumption that both the hands moves at constant angular velocities, the answer is ## \sqrt{7} .## But don't you think this assumption is somewhat doubtful and wrong?
