Abstract
In Geometric Function Theory, it is well known that the familiar Koebe function f(z)โ=โz/(1โโโz)2 is the extremal function for the class ๐ฎ* of starlike functions in the open unit disk ๐ and also that the function g(z)โ=โz/(1โโโz) is the extremal function for the class ๐ฆ of convex functions in the open unit disk ๐. However, the partial sum fn (z) of f(z) is not starlike in ๐ and the partial sum gn (z) of g(z) is not convex in ๐. The aim of the present paper is to investigate the starlikeness and convexity of these partial sums fn (z) and gn (z). Computational and graphical usages of Mathematica (Version 4.0) as well as geometrical descriptions of the image domains in several illustrative examples are also presented.
