Riemann surfaces are one-dimensional complex manifolds that provide a natural setting for the study of complex functions, allowing for a deeper understanding of multi-valued functions like the square root or logarithm. They enable the extension of complex analysis techniques to more complex domains and are fundamental in the study of algebraic curves and complex algebraic geometry.

The square root of a number is a value that, when multiplied by itself, gives the original number. It is a fundamental concept in mathematics, often used in solving equations and analyzing geometric properties.

A logarithm is the inverse operation to exponentiation, meaning it finds the exponent as the power to which a base number must be raised to produce a given number. Logarithms transform multiplicative processes into additive ones, simplifying complex calculations and helping to understand exponential growth or decay in various scientific fields.
