This document discusses the application of contour integration in complex analysis. It begins by defining line integrals in the complex plane and establishing the equivalence between complex and real line integrals. An example is then provided to demonstrate evaluating a line integral around a circle using contour integration. The key results shown are that for a function f(z) that is analytic within and on a simple closed contour C, the line integral is equal to 2πi times the sum of the residues of f(z) inside C. This technique of contour integration is noted to have applications in fields such as oceanography, geology, environmental science, statistics, and electrostatics.
