This brief monograph by one of the great mathematicians of the early 20th century offers a single-volume compilation of propositions employed in proofs of Cauchy''s theorem. Developing an arithmetical basis that avoids geometrical intuitions, Watson also provides a brief account of the various applications of the theorem to the evaluation of definite integrals. 1914 edition.
