= Conformal equivalence between the upper half-disc and upper half-plane

The map
$$
z\longmapsto\left(\frac{1+z}{1-z}\right)^2
$$
maps $\{z:|z|<1,\ \operatorname{Im}z>0\}$ conformally onto the upper half-plane. The <Möbius transformation> maps the half-disc onto the first quadrant, and squaring maps that quadrant onto the upper half-plane.
