Homework Statement
Using f(z) = f(re^iθ) = R(r,θ)e^iΩ(r,θ), show that the Cauchy-Riemann conditions in polar coordinates become
∂R/∂r = (R/r)∂Ω/∂θ
Homework Equations
Cauchy-Riemann in polar coordinates
Hint: Set up the derivative first with dz radial and then with dz tangential
The Attempt at a Solution
df/dz = (∂R/∂r)(∂r/∂z)e^iΩ + R(∂Ω/∂θ)(∂θ/∂z)e^iΩ
Now, I have no idea what dz tangential should be. I'm guessing that I should set the radial df/dz equal to the tangential df/dz, but I have no idea about the tangential or if my radial is right. Functionals are confusing to me, and complex functionals even more so.
