## The Cauchy Integral Formula

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data

Use Cauchy's integral formula to evaluate when
a) C is the unit circle
b) c is the circle mod(Z)=2

2. Relevant equations

I know the integral formula is

3. The attempt at a solution
for the unit circle I was attempting F(z)=sin(z) and Z0=∏/2, which would give a solution of 2∏i, however if this is the correct method I am unsure how to modify it for a larger unit circle as I thought the final result was independent of radius

 Ah so the unit circle wouldn't actually contain the point pi/2 whereas the circle mod(z)=2 would?

## The Cauchy Integral Formula

That's right. So in the unit circle case you need to figure out something else that lets you calculate the integral
 Can I then use the integral theorem that says it will equal 0?

 I'm a bit confused again, sorry! I thought that the z-Pi/2 on the denominator of the integral means we just shift the origin of the circle to a new position?
