Most scientific & mathematical disciplines I know of have results that educated outsiders can appreciate and go "wow" after a brief acquaintance, even without understanding the details. Does anyone know of such a result for category theory?

Incidentally, do you know a nice proof of cauchys thm? The ones through Green felt like proof by calculating which is never very satisfying to me

One way: integrate f(z_0+delta) around a small rectangle, keeping terms to first order in delta. It's clearly 0 - the terms on the sides cancel, as do the terms at "top" & "bottom". Integration around any closed loop can be done thru telescopic cancellation of such small rects.

Really? I thought a function is analytic if it is infinitely differentiable and you are saying it is analytic if it is differentiable once. Maybe the latter implies the former. I never really took a complex analysis class.

The latter implies the former. It's quite remarkable.
