Theorem 3.5  (Polar Form of the Cauchy-Riemann equations).  Let  [Graphics:Images/CauchyRiemannMod_gr_257.gif]  be a continuous function that is defined in some neighborhood of the point  [Graphics:Images/CauchyRiemannMod_gr_258.gif].  If all the partial derivatives  [Graphics:Images/CauchyRiemannMod_gr_259.gif]  are continuous at the point [Graphics:Images/CauchyRiemannMod_gr_260.gif] and if the polar form of the Cauchy-Riemann equations,

(3-22)            [Graphics:Images/CauchyRiemannMod_gr_261.gif]   and   [Graphics:Images/CauchyRiemannMod_gr_262.gif],    

holds, then [Graphics:Images/CauchyRiemannMod_gr_263.gif] is differentiable at  [Graphics:Images/CauchyRiemannMod_gr_264.gif], and we can compute the derivative [Graphics:Images/CauchyRiemannMod_gr_265.gif] by using either  

(3-23)            [Graphics:Images/CauchyRiemannMod_gr_266.gif],    or    

(3-24)            [Graphics:Images/CauchyRiemannMod_gr_267.gif][Graphics:Images/CauchyRiemannMod_gr_268.gif].  

Proof.

Proof of Theorem 3.5 is an exercise in the book.
