A function fz is analytic if it has a complex derivative f0z. Even if component functions of a complex function have all the partial derivatives, does not imply that the complex function will be differentiable.

Markushevich, theory of functions of a complex variable. A point where the function fails to be analytic, is called a singular point or singularity of the function. There exist both real analytic functions and complex analytic functions, categories that are similar in some ways, but different in others. If given a point ofr fsay f0 a and some condition on f0on a simply connected set. For each algebraic function, you can associate a riemann surface such that the algebraic function becomes a holomorphic function. In fact, to a large extent complex analysis is the study of analytic functions. This leads to crequations, which can be simply put as.
