Statements of important results.
(1) f (z) = u(x, y) + iv(x, y), where x = Re(z) and y = Im(z). Then f is Cdifferentiable if,
and only if the partial derivatives of u and v exist and are continuous, and ux = vy and
uy = vx . In this case, f 0 (z) = ux + ivx .
(2) Cauchys Theorem. If f : D C is Cdifferentiable, where D C is aZnonempty open
set, and is a simple closed curve whose interior is contained in D, then
f (z) dz = 0.

(3) Cauchys Integral formula. With

Z the same hypotheses on f, D, as in the previous

sin2 (x) + cos2 (x) = 1
sec2 (x) tan2 (x) = 1
sin(x + y) = sin(x) cos(y) + cos(x) sin(y)
cos(x + y) = cos(x) cos(y) sin(x) sin(y)
