(i) there exists c ∈ C such that T(z) = cz for all z ∈ C;<br />

(ii) T is C-linear;<br />

(iii) T(i) = iT(1);<br />

(iv) the real 2×2 matrix representing T with respect to the standard basis <strong>of</strong> R2 may<br />

be written as<br />

Pro<strong>of</strong>. (i) =⇒ (ii) =⇒ (iii) is obvious.<br />

(iii) =⇒ (i): Set c := T(1). For z = x+iy ∈ C, this means that<br />

T(x+iy) = T(x)+T(iy)<br />

= xT(1)+yT(i)<br />

= xT(1)+iyT(1)<br />

= zT(1)<br />

= cz.<br />

(iv) ⇐⇒ (iii): Let a,b,c,d ∈ R be such that<br />

A =<br />

Theorem 2.1 (Cauchy–Riemann Equations). Let D ⊂ C be open, and let z0 ∈ D.<br />

Let f: D → C and denote u := Ref, v := Imf. Then the following are equivalent:<br />

(i) f is complex differentiable at z0;<br />
