Now I understand what you are getting at, I see you are absolutely correct. But only in your own system in which the derivative is defined in a non-standard way. Whether your way is useful, I don't know. But you will have to rederive all of complex analysis with your new definition. Any theorem in which the real or imaginary parts may change sign is at risk. For example, is Cauchy's theorem true when the contour crosses quadrant boundaries? I prefer the old complex analysis myself, but each to his/her own taste. Terry Moore, Statistics Department, Massey University, New Zealand. Imagine a person with a gift of ridicule [He might say] First that a negative quantity has no logarithm; secondly that a negative quantity has no square root; thirdly that the first non-existent is to the second as the circumference of a circle is to the diameter.
