\oint{f(z)}dz
=\sum{\oint{\frac{h(z)}{(z-\alpha_{k})^n}}dz}(where n is a function of k.)
=\sum{\frac{2\pi\iota\ h^{n-1}(\alpha_k)}{(n-1)!}}(Cauchy's formula)
=2\pi\iota\sum{\frac{h^{n-1}(\alpha_k)}{(n-1)!}}

I think your proof needs to make it clear which contour the \oint{f(z)}dz is referring to in each case. So, for example, in the first case I think you should write:
\oint_\Gamma {f(z)}dz to indicate the closed contour \Gammawhich encloses all the poles (as stated in the exercise), and then:
=\sum{\oint_{\Gamma_k}{\frac{h(z)}{(z-\alpha_{k})^n}}dz}(where n is a function of k.)
with an explanation of what the \Gamma_k are (maybe with a diagram?).

Also an explanation of how travelling round the \Gamma_k for all k is equivalent to travelling round \Gamma would be very useful to other members of the forum when trying to understand your proof.

Oh! Just spotted a typo here -- very tiny, but the contour by the integral sign is actually a lower-case "r", when it should be an upper-case gamma \Gamma.

But thanks for the solution -- I couldn't quite think of the right way to start this one.
