Complex Integral Formula

The integral of a complex function \( f(z) \) with respect to the complex variable \( z \) over a path \( C \) is given by:

Complex Integral Formula

\[ \int_C f(z) \, dz = \lim_{n \to \infty} \sum_{k=1}^n f(z_k) \Delta z_k \]

Where:

\( f(z) \) is the complex-valued function to be integrated.
\( C \) is the path of integration.
\( z_k \) are points on the path \( C \).
\( \Delta z_k \) are the increments along the path.

This formula represents the limit of a sum of complex-valued terms, which defines the complex integral.

Complex Integral Examples

Here are some examples of complex integrals and their solutions:

Example 1: Integral of \( z \) from 0 to 1

Compute \( \int_0^1 z \, dz \).

The result is \( \frac{1}{2} \).

Example 2: Integral of \( e^z \) from 0 to \( 2\pi i \)

Compute \( \int_0^{2\pi i} e^z \, dz \).

The result is \( 0 \).

Note

These examples illustrate how complex integrals can be computed and the types of results you might encounter.
