Complex integration, Cauchy and residue theorems | Essence of Complex Analysis #6
by Mathemaniac · YouTube
A 41-minute visual lecture that interprets complex contour integrals through the Pólya vector field as work and flux, then derives Cauchy's theorem, the Cauchy integral formula, and the residue theorem from that picture.

Complex Variables with Applications (MIT 18.04)
Complex analytic functions and their applications: Cauchy's theorem and integral formula, Taylor and Laurent series, residues for evaluating hard integrals, harmonic functions, conformal maps, two-dimensional fluid flow, and Laplace and Fourier transforms. Provides 14 lecture note files plus problem sets and exams with solutions.
Math 246A, Notes 3: Cauchy's Theorem and Its Consequences
Graduate lecture notes from Terence Tao's UCLA 246A course. Establishes Cauchy's theorem via Goursat and homotopy arguments, then derives the integral formula, Liouville's theorem, the argument principle, and the residue theorem, with exercises throughout. The rigorous counterweight to the computational courses: Tao states and proves Cauchy's theorem at full generality (winding numbers, homotopy invariance) rather than only for star domains, and shows explicitly how the residue theorem falls out.
Introduction to Complex Analysis
Wesleyan University course on complex analysis covering complex numbers, analytic functions, conformal mappings, Möbius transformations, contour integration, Cauchy's theorem, power and Laurent series, and residues. Learners finish able to evaluate contour integrals and analyze complex-differentiable functions.
