Suppose f is an entire function such that [itex]f(z) = f(z+2\pi)[/itex]
and [itex]f(z)=f(z+2\pi i)[/itex] for all z [itex]\epsilon[/itex] C. How can you use Liouville's theorem to show f is constant..

any help on that please to get me started off.. thnx a lot :)

The two given relations tell you that [tex]f[/tex] is completely determined by its values in a square of side length [tex]2\pi[/tex]... what do you need to show about [tex]f[/tex] to use Liouville? Can you get it from this info now?
