9.9 The Residue Theorem
This theorem, which is also due to Cauchy, has many important ap-
plications, as we shall see in later sections of this and subsequent
chapters.
Theorem 9.9 (Classical Form of the Residue Theorem). Let C be a
simple closed contour, and let f be analytic on and within C*, except for
a finite number of isolated singularities a 1 , a 2 , ••• , an none of which lies
on C*. Then we have
J f(z) dz= 27ri t F;,e:,, f(z)

Proof Consider the circles ct: z - ak = rkeit, 0 :5 t :5 27r, k = 1, ... , n,
with radii rk small enough so that Ck n CJ= 0 (k-=? j) and c; n C* = 0
(Fig. 9.6). By applying Theorem 7.15 and Definition 9.11, we obtain
