  Cauchy's integral theorem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, the Cauchy integral theorem in complex analysis, named after Augustin Louis Cauchy, is an important statement about line integrals for holomorphic functions in the complex plane.
The theorem is usually formulated for closed paths as follows: let U be an open subset of C which is simply connected, let f : U → C be a holomorphic function, and let γ be a rectifiable path in U whose start point is equal to its end point.
The Cauchy integral theorem is considerably generalized by the Cauchy integral formula and the residue theorem.

 Cauchy's integral formula - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Moreover, just as in the case of the Cauchy integral theorem, it is sufficient to require that f be holomorphic in the open region enclosed by the path and continuous on that region's closure.
By using the Cauchy integral theorem, one can show that the integral over C (or the closed rectifiable curve) is equal to the same integral taken over a tiny circle around a.
Clearly the poles become evident, their moduli are less than 2 and thus lie inside the contour and are subject to consideration by the formula.

The Cauchy integral theorem in complex analysis is an important statement about path integrals for holomorphic functions in the complex plane.
One important consequence of the theorem is that path integrals of holomorphic functions on simply connected domains can be computed in a manner familiar from the fundamental theorem of real calculus: let U be a simply connected open subset of C, let f : U

Cauchy was born in Paris in 1789 and recceived his early education from his father.
Cauchy wrote extensively and profoundly in both pure and applied mathe matics, and he can probably be ranked next to Euler in volume of output.
Cauchy's work exhibits great attention to rigor, and as such was largely reaponsible for inspiring other mathematicians to attempt the banishment of blind formal manipulation and of intuitive proofs from analysis.

Date: 12/19/2000 at 13:12:04 From: Doctor Mitteldorf Subject: Re: Complex Analysis: Integrals Dear Lydia, The rule is to evaluate the function at each of the poles contained within the contour of integration, then multiply by 2pi*i.
I got that the integral of (z^2/(z+1))/(z-1)^2, which is the same as the original integral, is equal to 2pi*i (-1/(i+1)), which comes to 2pi*i (-1/2+(1/2)i) or ((-pi*i) - pi).

The elegant fundamental theorem of Cauchy's theory is ∫ f(z)dz = 0, where the integral is taken about a closed curve C surrounding a region where f'(z) exists, as shown in the diagram.
The next step is to obtain an integral formula for f(z) and its derivatives, where z is any point in a region where f(z) is analytic, and the integration is carried out on the boundary of the region.
Laurent extended Taylor's theorem to the case where the domain of analyticity was the region between two concentric circles, a large one and a small one surrounding a point (the origin, for purposes of argument) which could be a singularity.

Cauchy's work on complex function theory began with his long memoir [1814] on definite integrals, presented to Classe I of the Institut de France in 1814, but not published until 1827.
Cauchy set out to justify and systematise such techniques in his 1814 memoir (chapter 2), and then he kept polishing his results over the next ten years (chapter 3).
Cauchy has now realised that all of the above should be understood in the context of path integration in the complex plane.

In turn, this claim follows from the *central* theorem of the course: the Cauchy integral formula, which is an equality of f(z_0) with a contour integral.
We moved on to the main theorem of the course: Cauchy's theorem, which states that the contour integral of a function f that is analytic on and inside a closed curve is zero.
From this all kinds of things flowed: we proved the Cauchy integral theorem for derivatives, the Cauchy inequality (bounding the absolute value of f'(z_0)), Liouville's theorem (every entire bounded function is a constant), and almost finished the proof of the fundamental theorem of algebra.

the contour integral around any closed curve for a function that is not necessarily holomorphic inside that curve need not be zero.
Now you said that Green's Theorem allows us to express line integrals as double integrals - specifically if two real-valued functions together with their first-order partial derivatives are continuous throughout the closed region.
Then, from the fundamental theorem of calculus, it would be strange for this integral to be anything but zero.

Once this is known, it is a fairly short step to derive the ``limit" and ``series" versions, incorporating the prime number theorem as a particular case.
An interesting alternative route to the integral version (under slightly different conditions) is described in section 3.3.
This certainly places these statements in the wider mathematical landscape, but for the result we actually want, Theorem 3.2.3, it is simpler and more direct to proceed as we did.
