Abstract

This chapter is devoted to some immediate consequences of the fundamental result for the Cauchy theory, Theorem 4.61, of the last chapter. Although the chapter is very short, it includes proofs of many of the implications of the fundamental theorem in complex function theory (Theorem 1.1). We point out that these relatively compact proofs of a host of major theorems result from the work put into Chap. 4 and earlier chapters.
