For a meromorphic function with no poles on a positively oriented closed contour, the contour integral equals times the sum of enclosed residues, weighted by winding number for a general contour. At a simple pole , the residue is . Analyticity on the contour and the absence of other interior singularities are necessary hypotheses.
