Suppose is Holomorphic and For a fixed , take the derivative in direction: Similarly, for a fixed , take derivative in direction: Equating we find the Cauchy-Riemann equations: These are not sufficient conditions for to be differentiable.

Theorem

Suppose . Then is differentiable at if and only if and are differentiable at and their partial derivatives satisfy and .

Corollary

is differentiable at if and only if partial derivatives of and exist and are continuous around and they satisfy the Cauchy-Riemann equations. Proved in Analysis and Topology.
