Macdonald's Theorem for Analytic Functions
Complex Variables

Abstract
A proof is reconstructed for a useful theorem on the zeros of derivatives of analytic functions due to H. M. Macdonald, which appears to be now little known. The Theorem states that, if a function is analytic inside a bounded region bounded by a contour on which the modulus of is constant, then the number of zeros (counted according to multiplicity) of and of its derivative in the region differ by unity.
