Functions of a complex variable Basic notions Theorem
Cauchy–Riemann equations
Statement
Let be an open set and let be a function. Identify with by . Let and be the real and imaginary parts of , as real functions of on . Let . Then is complex differentiable at if and only if the following two conditions hold. First, and are differentiable at as functions of two real variables. Second, they satisfy at . In this case .
Remarks
For we have and . Then and . The real differentiability of and is necessary. The function , satisfies the two equations at , but is not complex differentiable at . The two equations together are the one complex equation .
