Can somebody explain contour integration to me a little bit?

Do you want to see it work or you want a theoretical discussion?

An example would be nice.

Please integrate that.
How do I do that?

Get the poles first.

Okay, that is the easy part.

Take the positive 2, do you know why?

The limits of integration are positive so we only take the positive poles.

Since when can complex numbers be positive and negative? Do you want their real parts to be positive or...?

I get the poles like this
You take the ones that do not have a minus sign in front. See the drawing provided later to tell which poles to use.

I think those are the 1. and 3. in my list.

Now get the residue of those two poles. This is done in a couple of ways. I prefer the formula. If you like your own way use it.
If you chose the right ones (the ones in red ) you will get:
Once you have the residues you are almost done. Tell me when you get mine.

hi bobbym,
Would you mind explaining how to get the 'residues' ? Thanks.

Hi;
One way uses the Laurent series. I do not know it offhand. The other way zetafunc and I were using just a couple of days ago. It is just a formula. Hold on while I get it.
As usual I did not write it down but Wiki has it:
where c is a pole and n is its order.
Ex:
has 2 poles i and -i. To get the residue of i we say n =1 and c = i.
The whole formula simplifies to
which equals - i / 2

Many thanks.
Give me a week or so to get my brain around all of this and I may have more questions.

Hi;
I added some stuff to post #17.
Give me a week or so to get my brain around all of this
If you can get it in a week then you will have far surpassed me. I never did get it, despite having it explained to me at least 5 times!
Rule 1 of my signature applies! To some, it only applies maybe 3 or 4 times. For me I stopped counting after 10000.

Hi bobbym
Yes, I am getting those residues. What now?

Sum the residues, and multiply the sum by 2iπ.
Hi zeta;
I was going to ask you to come in here and help out. We were just working on this!
Hi anonimnystefy;
Normally 2 π i but here we are only taking half the contour so it is π i
