How can we show that the following equation has infinitely many solutions
[tex]e^z-z^2=0[/tex].
Thanks

Continuing WWGD's post: you get ##e^z=e^{2\log z}## and thus the equation ##e^{z-2log z}=1##. In other words you are looking at the solutions of each of the equations ##z-2\log z=2\pi n## for ##n\in\mathbb{Z}##.
