Cauchy's Theorem and Integral Formula

Holomorphic functions have path-independent integrals on simply connected domains, and boundary values determine interior derivatives. Cauchy's integral formula is a central bridge from integration to local analytic data. The distinction between a formal hypothesis and an intuitive picture is made explicit so that calculations can be justified, not merely patterned.

Worked reasoning

Cauchy's theorem applies under the stated hypotheses.
The closed contour integral is zero.

If $f$ is holomorphic inside and on a simple closed contour, $\oint f(z)dz$ equals:

$2\pi i$

$f(0)$

The contour length
