#+title: Cauchy's Theorem
#+author: Preston Pan
#+description: Spinning around the complex plane.
#+options: broken-links:t
* Introduction
Cauchy's theorem is the analogue of Green's Theorem for complex variables. It is a part of many equivalent statements made about analytic
functions. For example:
- exact differentials are closed.
- The harmonic conjugates of analytic functions satisfy the Cauchy-Riemann equations.
- Closed differentials describe [[id:6f2aba40-5c9f-406b-a1fa-13018de55648][conservative force]] fields.
- Harmonic functions satisfy Laplace's Equation.
- Under contour integration, the closed differentials are exactly those differentials which also satisfy the Cauchy-Riemann equations.
- A function is analytic iff it satisfies the Cauchy-Riemann equations.
- Analytic functions are conformal mappings except at their zeros.
and many more, are statements about the same set of objects, posed in different ways.
