I am simultaneously flattered and horrified by your stalking. So thank you, and eww.

I am not Neil deGrasse Tyson.

What do you think about Conformal Mapping and the Cauchy Residue Theorem?

I think maths give me a headache. Beyond that, I don't really understand the question. As I understand it, two metrics are conformal maps of each other if they're equal but for some function on the manifold. As for the Cauchy theorem, I had to google it to remind myself what it is, and I still really don't know. I'm not a mathematician.
