Wirtinger derivatives

For $z=x+iy$, the Wirtinger derivatives are ${\partial }_z=({\partial }_x-i{\partial }_y)/2$ and ${\partial }_{\bar{z}}=({\partial }_x+i{\partial }_y)/2$. The Cauchy-Riemann equations become ${\partial }_{\bar{z}}F=0$ for a holomorphic function $F$, and $4{\partial }_z{\partial }_{\bar{z}}=\Delta$. Thus $u_z$ is holomorphic whenever $u$ is a twice continuously differentiable harmonic function.
