The Cauchy integral formula states that if is holomorphic on a neighbourhood of a simple closed positively oriented contour and its interior, then, for an interior point ,Fix and apply it on . For , the geometric seriesconverges uniformly in and locally uniformly in . Indeed, for its absolute terms are bounded by . Since is bounded on the contour, termwise contour integration is valid, givingTermwise differentiation of this locally convergent power series gives . ThereforeThis also derives the needed Taylor series representation rather than assuming an unjustified interchange at the boundary of the analytic disk.
