Let F(z, u) denote

where F1(z),… , Fn(z) are rational functions of z with complex coefficients. We shall speak of F (z, u) = 0 as the fundamental algebraic equation and shall adopt z as the independent variable and u as the dependent, except in § 4, where we use x and y instead of them, and where it is understood that x and y are connected birationally with z and u.
