The term "principal branch" can refer to different concepts in various fields, but it is commonly associated with mathematics, particularly in complex analysis. In complex analysis, the principal branch often refers to the principal value of a multi-valued function. One of the most notable examples is the complex logarithm. The logarithm function, when extended to complex numbers, is inherently multi-valued due to the periodic nature of the complex exponential function.
