The only possible singularity of inside the contour is at , with residue . It is at most a simple pole; when , it is removable. Thus the residue theorem gives the Cauchy integral formula,for a counterclockwise simple contour containing once, with analytic on a neighbourhood of the contour and its interior. More generally the answer is , where the winding number accounts for multiple turns or reversed orientation. A clockwise simple contour has the opposite sign.
