Cauchy’s integral formula defines analytic function evaluation with path integral with denominator translation at evaluation point (1z−a).
f(a)=12πi∮γf(z)z−adz
f(n)(a)=n!2πi∮γf(z)(z−a)n+1dz
Cauchy’s integral formula is a limit of path.
limr→0γ:|z−z0|=r
Taylor series evaluated a analytic function by approximation at an open disc D(z0,r).
f(x)=∑∞n=0an(x−b)n
f(n)(b)n!=an
The presence of primitive function is a strong condition that makes a function is analytic in a disc D(a,R). The meaning is the presence of primitive function is confusing at first to me. If a function is integrable, then integration value and a primitive function can be determined. But in complex analysis this is not the case. In real analysis, the integral interval [a,b] is unique, but in complex analysis the integral interval should be determined by line path Γ=g(x).
