[R] Cauchy's theorem

[dr mike]

 I don't know about the 'in R' bit, but ISTR that Monte-Carlo (or pseudo
Monte-Carlo) Integration is a way of doing this 'numerically'. I know that
Mathematica implements the (pseudo Monte-Carlo)
Halton-Hammersley-Wozniakowski algorithm as Nintegrate. Perhaps something
equivalent has been coded by someone for WINBUGS (OPENBUGS) (accessible from
R via the BRUGS package).

Subject: [R] Cauchy's theorem

In complex analysis, Cauchy's integral theorem states (loosely
speaking) that the path integral
of any entire differentiable function, around any closed curve, is zero.

I would like to see this numerically, using R (and indeed I would like to
use the residue theorem as well).

Has anyone coded up path integration?
