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.
