Evaluation of complex integrals:
Generally, a complex integral is expressed in terms of two real
integrals and evaluated.
If 𝑓 𝑧 = 𝑢 + 𝑖𝑣 where 𝑧 = 𝑥 + 𝑖𝑦 => 𝑑𝑧 = 𝑑𝑥 + 𝑖𝑑𝑦

𝑓 𝑧 𝑑𝑧 = (𝑢 + 𝑖𝑣)(𝑑𝑥 + 𝑖𝑑𝑦)

Simply connected Regions:
A region R is called simply connected, if any simple closed
curve in R can be shrunk to a point.

Multiply connected Regions:

A region R which is not simply connected is called multiply
connected.
