let D be simple connected Domain and C be simple close curve in D.

then by cauchy integral theorem ∫(z) dz over C is zero.→let this be my 1st equation.

but by cauchy integral formula for a point (a) inside C, we can say

f(a)=(1/2∏i)[closed integral over c]∫f(z)dz/(z-a)

NOTE f(z) is analytic function in D.

but substituting [closed integral over c]∫f(z)dz=0 from equation 1,

we get f(a)=0, for all a belonging to C but which is not true.

now where i am wrong ?

i don't get the intuition behind cauchy integral therom and formula ,

would be glad if someone helped me.
 
It's 't-h-e-o-r-e-m'.

You mean [tex]\int f(z)dz[/tex] over C is zero when is analytic inside C? Of course [itex]\int z dz= 0[/itex] but that is irrelevant to what you have below.

Apparently you forgot about the [tex]\frac{1}{z- a}[/tex] part! If f(z) is analytic inside C, [tex]\frac{f(z)}{z- a}[/tex] is not- it has a pole of order 1 at z= a.
 
If you want intuition for this stuff, you should read Visual Complex Analysis. I could hardly do it justice here.
