Theorem 3.3 (Cauchy-Riemann Equations).  Suppose that  

(3-14)              ,  

is differentiable at the point  .   Then the partial derivatives of    exist at the point  ,  

and can be used to calculate the derivative at .  That is,    

(3-14)              ,     

                        and also  

(3-15)              .  

Equating the real and imaginary parts of Equations (3-14) and (3-15) gives the so-called Cauchy-Riemann Equations:

(3-16)                   and     .  

Exploration for the Cauchy-Riemann Equations.

Aside.  Both and can assist us in calculating limits.  

Aside.  The Mathematica solution uses the command.  

Looking at the above limits, and equating the real and imaginary parts we have the following equations.

                    ,    

                    and  

                     .  

In Mathematica the syntax for partial derivatives can be explained as follows.

In the expression  ,  the superscript    means, take one derivative with respect to the first variable .

In the expression  ,  the superscript    means, take one derivative with respect to the second variable .

Similarly, the expressions    and    are the    and    partial derivatives, respectively.

        Therefore, we see that Mathematica can establish the Cauchy-Riemann equations  

                         and     .   

We are done.

Aside.  The Maple commands are similar.
