The residue theorem, invented by Cauchy, is a method of evaluating definite integrals.
Consider the following contour in the complex plane :
where R is a limit going to infinity...or something
Let's find
the first half of the contour is a straight line that goes from -R to R hence, this can be represented as, (H is the entire contour, because i said so)
the other half of the contour, , can be represented as the equation : where v is a variable that goes from to 0
differentating, we have
plugging it back into our original integrals
