Set $w=\phi(z)=i\frac{1+z}{1-z}$ (which maps the unit disk in the complex plane to the upper half of the complex plane). Show that the Schwarz Christoffel formula, $f(z)=A_1\int_0^z \frac 1{(w-x_1)^{\beta_1}(w-x_2)^{\beta_2}\cdots(w-x_n)^{\beta_n}}\ dw+A_2,\quad (z \in \mathbb H),$ retains the same form.
Question 1: What does this question mean? What do they mean by CS "retains the same form"? What on earth are they asking for? What does SC formula have to do with $\phi(z)$?
Help! (Once again, sorry for the vaguely worded question - I know everyone hates when you just post "help").
EDIT: OK, based on math chatroom discussions and some comments in the text, I think this question is asking to show that $\phi(f(z))$ has the same form as $f(z)$. However, I can't figure out the next step after substituting $f(z)$ into the equation for $\phi(z)$. What is the next step after $i\frac{1+(A_1\int_0^z \frac 1{(w-x_1)^{\beta_1}(w-x_2)^{\beta_2}\cdots(w-x_n)^{\beta_n}}\ dw+A_2)}{1-(A_1\int_0^z \frac 1{(w-x_1)^{\beta_1}(w-x_2)^{\beta_2}\cdots(w-x_n)^{\beta_n}}\ dw+A_2)}?$ Thank you.
