Statement

Suppose $U$ is a domain in $\mathbb {C}$ and $f:U\to \mathbb {C}$ is a holomorphic function. Suppose $\gamma$ is the circle of radius $r$ centered at a point $z_{0}\in U$, such that $\gamma$ lies completely inside $U$. Then, for any point $z\in U$, we have:

$f^{(n)}(z)={\frac {n!}{2\pi i}}\oint _{\gamma }{\frac {f(\xi )}{(\xi -z)^{n+1}}}\,d\xi$
