If \(n\) and \(a\) are coprime positive integers, then \(a\) raised to the power of the totient of \(n\) is congruent to one, modulo \(n\), or: \[ a^{\varphi (n)} \equiv 1 \pmod{n} \] where \(\varphi (n)\) is Euler's totient function.

Suppose \(V\) is a subset of \(\mathbb {R} ^{n}\) (in the case of \(n = 3\), \(V\) represents a volume in three-dimensional space) which is compact and has a piecewise smooth boundary \(S\) (also indicated with \(\partial V = S\)). If \(F\) is a continuously differentiable vector field defined on a neighborhood of \(V\), then \[ \iiint_V \left(\mathbf{\nabla} \cdot \mathbf{F} \right)\,dV = \oint_S (\mathbf {F} \cdot \mathbf{\hat{n}})\,dS. \] The left side is a volume integral over the volume \(V\), the right side is the surface integral over the boundary of the volume \(V\). The closed manifold \(\partial V\) is oriented by outward-pointing normals, and \(n\) is the outward pointing unit normal at each point on the boundary \(\partial V\).

Let \(U\) be an open subset of the complex plane \(\mathbb{C}\), and suppose the closed disk \(D\) defined as \[ D = \bigl\{z:|z-z_{0}|\leq r\bigr\} \] is completely contained in \(U\). Let \(f: U\to\mathbb{C}\) be a holomorphic function, and let \(\gamma\) be the circle, oriented counterclockwise, forming the boundary of \(D\). Then for every \(a\) in the interior of \(D\), $$ f(a) = \frac{1}{2\pi i} \oint _{\gamma}\frac{f(z)}{z-a} dz. $$
