Here's a hint on I.8.3 --Bell

It is straightforward to show that

$ (z,w)\mapsto z+w $

is a continuous mapping from $ \mathbb C\times \mathbb C $ to $ \mathbb C $ because

$ |(z+w)-(z_0+w_0)|\le|z-z_0|+|w-w_0| $

and to make this last quantity less than $ \epsilon $, it suffices to take

$ |z-z_0|<\epsilon/2 $ and $ |w-w_0|<\epsilon/2 $.

To handle complex multiplication, you will need to use the standard trick:

$ zw-z_0w_0 = zw-zw_0+zw_0-z_0w_0=z(w-w_0)+w_0(z-z_0) $.
