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:

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