Antiderivative (complex analysis)

An antiderivative (in complex analysis) is a mathematical operation that finds the simplest version of a complicated equation. To find the antiderivative, we start with a complex equation, and break it down into its basic parts. Then, we add up all of these simpler pieces to get a new equation that looks like the original equation, but simpler.
