Suppose we have an analytic function then Why complex integral of that function does not depend on the path of integration?

  • Because the integral around a closed loop is zero. This follows from Green's theorem in the plane. Look in any book on complex variables.

In general, the complex integral depends on the path of integration !



Example: $D= mathbb C setminus {0}, f(z)=1/z$ and $c(t)=e^{it}$ with $t in [0, 2m pi i]$ for some $m in mathbb N$.



Then we have $int_c f(z) dz = 2m pi i$.
