Abstract:	In this article we take a historical tour through the Cauchy-Riemann equations and their relationship with Cauchy's theorem on the independence with respect to the path of the integral of a holomorphic function. Because of its importance we do a detailed and updated study of the contributions of d'Alembert and Euler to these topics. We also review the Cauchy works about the passage from the real to imaginary by paying attention to some arguments he uses that, from our point of view, are not clear enough. At the end we comment briefly the evolution of Green's formula and its relation with the above problems.
