Having the same form and maintaining formal equality or correspondence in structure.
Combining 'equi-' (equal) with 'formal' (relating to form), this term was created to describe mathematical or geometric relationships where shapes remain proportionally the same.
In complex analysis, mathematicians talk about 'conformal mappings' that preserve angles—'equiformal' was an earlier attempt to describe similar mathematical relationships, but the field settled on more precise terminology.
