Let f be continuous on a closed bounded region R and let it be analytic, and not constant throughout the interior of R. Assuming f(z) is not equal to 0 inside R (this assumption is easy since we may add a finitely large constant to f to avoid having it touch 0. Prove that |f(z)| has a minimum value m in R, which occurs on the boundary and never in the interior.
