Alternative definiton of differentiability
$begingroup$
Is it correct to say that both of definitions of differentiability are equivalent?
$(1);;displaystyle f:Drightarrowmathbb{C},Dsubseteqmathbb{R}text{ is differentiable in }z_oiffexists_{ainmathbb{C}}left(lim_{zrightarrow z_0}frac{f(z)-f(z_0)}{z-z_o}=aright)$.
$(2);;displaystyle f:Drightarrowmathbb{C},Dsubseteqmathbb{R}text{ is differentiable in }z_o
qquad iffexists_{ainmathbb{C}};forall_{epsilon>0};exists_{delta>0};forall_{zin D}left(left(vert z-z_0vert<deltaright)Rightarrow left(|frac{f(z)-f(z_0)}{z-z_o}-a|right)<epsilon.right)$

If you unpack the definition of a limit in the first definition, what do you get?

I am not sure whether I get what I wrote down or $exists_{ainmathbb{C}}forall_{epsilon>0}exists_{delta>0}forall_{zin D}|z-z_0|<deltaRightarrow |frac{f(z)-a}{z-z_o}|<epsilon$

But this is exactly what you wrote in the question, no? (Apart from the fact that $|z-z_0|<delta$ should read $0<|z-z_0|<delta$.)

@Did the Right side is different. In my comment I wrote $|frac{f(z)-a}{z-z_0}|$But in my Question I wrote down $|frac{f(z)-f(z_0)}{z-z_0}-a|$

Ah, I missed that. But then the comment is truly absurd. Would not work even for $f(z)=z$, whose derivative you probably know...
