Homework Statement


[tex]f(z)[/tex] is a complex function that belongs to [tex]C^1[/tex]. Prove that:

[tex]\lim_{r\to{0}}\frac{1}{r^2}\oint_{\tiny{|z-z_0|=r}}{f(z)dz}=2\pi{i}\frac{\partial f}{\partial \overline z}(z_0)[/tex]



The Attempt at a Solution


Using Green's Theorem:
[tex]\oint_{{C}}{f(z,\overline z)dz}=2{i}\iint\limits_D {\frac{\partial f}{\partial \overline z}} \, dA[/tex]

I got:
[tex]\lim_{r\to{0}}\frac{1}{r^2}\oint_{\tiny{|z-z_0|=r}}{f(z)dz}= \lim_{r\to{0}}\frac{1}{r^2}2{i}\iint\limits_{|z-z_0| \le r} {\frac{\partial f}{\partial \overline z}} \, dA[/tex]

It would be perfect if [tex]\iint\limits_{|z-z_0| \le r} {\frac{\partial f}{\partial \overline z}} \, dA = {\pi}{r^2}\frac{\partial f}{\partial \overline z}(z_0)[/tex] but I don't know how to prove it (acctualy I can't even believe that it is true).

Any directions will be appreciated.
