Solution Summary

One version of Cauchy's theorem for complex functions states that the integral around a closed simple curve of a complex function is zero, provided the integrand is analytic in the region enclosed by the curve. The solution comprises half a page written in Word with Mathtype illustrating the application of this theorem in 3 concrete examples.
