Complex integration

Cauchy's Residue Theorem

If 𝑓(𝑧) is analytic over a closed region 𝐷 ⊆ℂ except at isolated points, i.e. it is holomorphic for 𝐷 ∖{𝑧1,𝑧2,…,𝑧𝑀}, then the contour integral

∮𝜕𝐷𝑓(𝑧)𝑑𝑧=2𝜋𝑖𝑀∑𝑚=1Res⁡[𝑓,𝑧𝑚]

where Res⁡[𝑓,𝑧𝑚] is the Residue of the singular point 𝑧𝑚 which is relatively easy to calculate.
