Hurwitz theorem
From Encyclopedia of Mathematics
Let be a sequence of holomorphic functions in a domain that converges uniformly on compact sets in to a function . Then, for any closed rectifiable Jordan curve lying in together with the domain bounded by and not passing through zeros of , it is possible to find a number such that for each of the functions has inside the same number of zeros as inside . Obtained by A. Hurwitz .
