Residue Theorem (Complex Analysis)Given a complex function , consider the Laurent Series
 | (1) |
Integrate term by term using a closed contour encircling ,
The Cauchy Integral Theorem requires that the first and last terms vanish, so we have
 | (3) |
But we can evaluate this function (which has a Pole at ) using the Cauchy Integral Formula,
 | (4) |
This equation must also hold for the constant function , in which case it is also true that , so
 | (5) |
 | (6) |
and (3) becomes
 | (7) |
The quantity is known as the Residue of at . Generalizing to acurve passing through multiple poles, (7) becomes
 | (8) |
where is the Winding Number and the superscript denotes the quantitycorresponding to Pole .
If the path does not completely encircle the Residue, take the Cauchy Principal Value to obtain
 | (9) |
If has only Isolated Singularities, then
 | (10) |
The residues may be found without explicitly expanding into a Laurent Series as follows:
 | (11) |
If has a Pole of order at , then for and . Therefore,
 | (12) |
 | (13) |
Iterating, | |  | (16) | So
 | (17) |
and the Residue is
 | (18) |
This amazing theorem says that the value of a Contour Integral in the Complex Plane depends only onthe properties of a few special points inside the contour. See also Cauchy Integral Formula, Cauchy Integral Theorem, Contour Integral, Laurent Series,Pole, Residue (Complex Analysis) |
