SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on key theorems in the field of derivatives, specifically highlighting the Implicit Function Theorem and its requirements, which state that the function ##f## need only be differentiable in the second argument while the first can belong to a topological space. Additionally, it emphasizes that Formula (15) is applicable to any Riemann manifold, deriving from previous results. The Cauchy-Goursat Theorem's relationship with the Stokes formula is also noted, showcasing its significance in the context of derivatives.

1) regarding the Implicit Function Theorem:
there is no need to demand ##f## to be totally differentiable in ##(x,y)## Actually ##f## must be differentiable just in the second argument while the first one can belong to a topological space. By the way, ##\mathbb{R}^m## can also be replaced with a Banach space.

2) Formula (15) holds for any Riemann manifold and follows from (14) with the help of results from previous part.

I think that theCauchy-Goursat Theorem can also be obtained from the Stokes formula without a considerable loss of generality.
