60. Evaluation of Improper Integrals
In calculus
when the limit on the right exists, the improper integral is said to converge to that limit.

2. If f(x) is continuous for all x, its improper integral over the
is defined by
When both of the limits here exist, integral (2) converges to their sum.
There is another value that is assigned to integral (2). i.e., The Cauchy principal value (P.V.) of integral (2).
provided this single limit exists

3. If integral (2) converges its Cauchy principal value (3) exists.
If is not, however, always true that integral (2) converges when its Cauchy P.V. exists.

28. 65. Argument Principle and Rouche’s Theorem
A function f is said to be meromorphic in a domain D if it is analytic throughout D - except possibly for poles.
Suppose f is meromorphic inside a positively oriented simple close contour C, and analytic and nonzero on C.
The image of C under the transformation w = f(z),
is a closed contour, not necessarily simple, in the w plane.

zeros and poles of f interior to C.
