Contour Integrals in Complex Analysis - Prof. N. Rimmer, Study notes of Mathematics

Contour integrals in complex analysis, including the definition of a parametric curve in the complex plane, the concept of a contour integral as an integral of a complex function, and the evaluation of contour integrals using the cauchy's integral formula. The document also covers the concept of orientation and the relationship between complex functions and fluid flow.

Section _______________

Parametric Curve

x = f t , y = g t

Orientation of the curve

Let’s go back to:

C : parametric curve in the complex plane defined by x = x t , y = y t , atb t real

Now let z t = x t + iy t , a ≤ t ≤ b define C

If C is piecewise smooth, we will now call it a ________.

An integral of f z on C is called a ______________.

If is simple and

closed we use

Orientation:

Continuing to view the complex function as a flow,

we can now calculate __________ and ________.

C : positively oriented simple closed curve

The _________ around C measures the tendency of the flow to rotate C

The ________ across is the difference between the rate at which

fluid enters and the rate at which fluid leaves the region bounded by.
