1. A complex valued function f(z) ∈ C of a complex valued argument z ∈ C can always be expressed in terms of two real valued functions u(x,y),v(x,y) ∈ R of two real-valued variables x,y ∈ R:
f(z) = f(x + j · y) = u(x,y) + j · v(x,y).
In the following u(x,y),v(x,y) are to be continuously differentiable with respect to x and y in an arbitrarily small region around z. The complex derivative of f(z) with respect to z is defined as
(1)
(a) Write (1) in terms of ∂u/∂x and ∂v/∂x by using ∆z = ∆x, i.e. by moving parallel to the real axis to the point z.
(b) Repeat the exercise using ∆z = j · ∆y, i.e. by moving parallel to the imaginary axis to the point z.
(c) In order for (1) to be uniquely defined, these two results must be the same. Whatconstraint does this impose on u(x,y) and v(x,y) ?
(d) Compare this result to the Cauchy-Riemann equations.
2. Let g(z,z∗) = f(x,y) ∈ C be a function of a complex vector z = x + j · y ∈ Cn and its complex conjugate z∗ = x−j·y ∈ Cn with x,y ∈ Rn. We have that the total differential of g and f, respectively, is

(c) If f(x,y) = u(x,y)+j·v(x,y), where u(x,y),v(x,y) ∈ R show that the differential dg does not depend on the differential dz∗ if g(z,z∗) = f(x,y) is analytic, i.e. show that .
