Statement

Let U⊆ℂU \subseteq \mathbb{C} be an open set and let f:U→ℂf : U \to \mathbb{C} be holomorphic on UU. Let c∈ℂc \in \mathbb{C} and r>0r > 0 be such that the closed disc {z:∣z−c∣≤r}\{z : |z - c| \le r\} is contained in UU. Then for each a∈ℂa \in \mathbb{C} with ∣a−c∣<r|a - c| < r, f(a)=12πi∮∣z−c∣=rf(z)z−a dz,f(a) = \frac{1}{2 \pi i} \oint_{|z - c| = r} \frac{f(z)}{z - a} \, dz, where the integral is the circle integral over the circle ∣z−c∣=r|z - c| = r.

Remarks

The values of ff on the circle determine the values of ff at each point inside the circle. With a=ca = c and z=c+reiθz = c + r e^{i\theta}, the formula gives f(c)=12π∫02πf(c+reiθ) dθf(c) = \frac{1}{2\pi} \int_0^{2\pi} f(c + r e^{i\theta}) \, d\theta. So f(c)f(c) is the average of ff on the circle. For f=1f = 1, the formula is the integral of 1/(z - a). The formula gives the formula for the derivatives, and it shows that holomorphic functions are analytic.
