Dynamic sketch: A Möbius transform

Visualisation of the Möbius transformation
in the unit disk D : = { z Î C: |z| < 1 }.
It maps the number a Î D into the origin 0.

In the left disk, you can change by the mouse the variable z and the white circle of animation.
The constant a can be changed in the right side disk. In this example you are not allowed to take the a outside the disk.

1. Find a and b such that z belongs to the light blue area if and only if a < |z| < b.

2. Take z0 in the disc.
What happens with w if you put z in the place w0 = f(x0) ?
What happens with w if z describes a circle which is not centered at the origin ?
