[parent] proof of Gauss' mean value theorem (Proof)

We can parameterize the circle by letting $ z=z_0 + r e^{i\phi}$. Then $ dz=ir e^{i\phi}d\phi$. Using the Cauchy integral formula we can express $ f(z_0)$ in the following way:

$\displaystyle f(z_0)$ $\displaystyle =$ $\displaystyle \frac{1}{2\pi i} \oint_{C} \frac{f(z)}{z-z_0}dz$  
  $\displaystyle =$ $\displaystyle \frac{1}{2\pi i} \int_{0}^{2\pi} \frac{f(z_0 + r e^{i\phi})}{r e^{i\phi}} ir e^{i\phi} d\phi$  
  $\displaystyle =$ $\displaystyle \frac{1}{2\pi} \int_{0}^{2\pi} f(z_0 + r e^{i\phi}) d\phi .$
