Extract

If f(z) is a function of the complex variable z, regular in a neighbourhood of z = 0, with f (0) = 0 and f' (0) ≠ 0, then the equation w = f(z) admits a unique solution, regular in some neighbourhood of w = 0, given by

where C is an appropriate contour encircling z = 0. These formulae are well-known, being stages in the proof of the classical reversion † formula

due to Lagrange.
