2 Integrating complex functions

After working through this section, you should be able to:

• define the integral of a continuous function along a smooth path, and evaluate such integrals

• explain what is meant by a contour, define the (contour) integral of a continuous function along a contour, and evaluate such integrals

• define the reverse contour of a given contour, and state and use the Reverse Contour Theorem.
