Homework Statement



How would I prove that [tex]ln (z)[/tex] is analytic?

The Attempt at a Solution



I rewrote it as [tex]ln (z) = ln (r) + i\theta[/tex]. But, I'm not quite sure how to apply Cauchy-Riemman conditions here.

[tex]\frac{\partial f}{\partial x} = \frac{\partial f}{\partial r}\frac{\partial r}{\partial x} + \frac{\partial f}{\partial \theta}\frac{\partial \theta}{\partial x}[/tex]

if you want to use the polar coordinates. Remember also that CR-equation can be written as

[tex]i \frac{\partial f}{\partial x} = \frac{\partial f}{\partial y}.[/tex]
