Conjugate complex coordinates

287 Views Asked by At

This is the question and the problem is we didn't take multivariable calculus to understand these steps, where did it come from? When I search multivariable chain rule I get a different result than this, can anyone tell me how the answer makes sense provided that I know about partial derivatives but we haven't taken multivariable functions and how they're differentiated in this way, this is a complex variable course.
