A function is analytic (or holomorphic) if it is differentiable at every point in a region. This is a much stronger condition than real-differentiability.

The "litmus test" for analyticity. For , the partial derivatives must satisfy 2. Integration in the Complex Plane A function is analytic (or holomorphic) if it

Essential for AC circuit analysis, signal processing, and using Laplace/Fourier transforms to solve differential equations.
Representing functions as infinite sums. Laurent series are particularly useful because they describe functions near their singularities.
A powerful tool for evaluating complex (and difficult real) integrals by looking at "poles" (singularities) where the function blows up. 3. Series and Singularities
