Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around the Cauchy-Riemann equations and their application in polar coordinates, focusing on the differentiation of complex functions.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss the conversion of the Cauchy-Riemann equations from Cartesian to polar coordinates, with specific emphasis on the differentiation process involving variables r and θ.

Discussion Status

Some participants have acknowledged the reference material provided, while others express confusion about applying the chain rule for differentiation in polar coordinates. Guidance has been offered to attempt the conversion and share results for further discussion.

Contextual Notes

There appears to be uncertainty regarding the application of the chain rule and the specific steps needed to perform the conversion from Cartesian to polar coordinates.

hey, I know this might be abit silly, but u know the cauchy-reimann formula for a complex function to be diffrentiatable? here is a link to what I am talking about:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauchy-Riemann_equations
my question is: how do I write it in polar coordinates?:redface:

The answer to your question is on the page you linked to, pretty near the end, under "Other Representations."
 
yeah, I know that. my question is how to change the diffrentiates from respect to x to for example r and theta. I know they might be easy using the chain rules, but I always get so confused on this and thought maybe sb could help me write it
 
You do use the chain rule. Give it a shot and show us what you come up with.
