The Derivative of a Complex Valued Function
Let f be a function defined in a domain D, and let z0 ∈ D.The derivative of f with respect to z at the point z0, isdefined by
df (z0)
dz= f ′(z0) = lim
z→z0
f (z) − f (z0)
z − z0
if this limit exists. In this case, we say that f is differentiableat z0.

The Cauchy- Riemann Equations
Let f (z) = u(x , y) + iv(x , y) be a function defined in adomain D. If f is analytic in D, then the four partialderivatives ux , uy , vx , vy must exist at every point in D,and these derivatives must satisfy the Cauchy-Riemannequations
ux = vy , uy = vx
In this case, f ′(z) = ux + ivx , or f ′(z) = vy − iuy .Remark: The Cauchy-Riemann equations are anecessary, but not sufficient, condition for a functionf = u + iv to be analytic in a domain D.
