Apr 25, 2019 at 8:50 comment added Roman @Nasser they do give the same result when you apply N: Arg'[1 + I] // N also gives -0.5.
Apr 25, 2019 at 8:48 comment added Roman @xzczd $z$ and $z^*$ are independent variables in complex analysis, so $\partial z^*/\partial z=0$ etc.
Apr 25, 2019 at 8:47 comment added Nasser Any idea why then With[{z = 1.0 + I}, Arg'[z]] not same as With[{z = 1 + I}, Arg'[z]]? Should not these give same result?
Apr 25, 2019 at 8:45 comment added xzczd Er… how is derivative of $\ln(z^*)$ defined here?
