where R is a limit going to infinity...or | |||

the first half of the contour is a straight line that goes from -R to | |||
<math> \oint\limits_{H}\frac{1}{x^2+1} \mathrm{d} x=\int\limits_{\gamma_R}\frac{1}{x^2+1} \mathrm{d} x+\int\limits_{R}^{R}\frac{1}{x^2+1} \mathrm{d} x</math></blockquote> | |||
the other half of the contour, <math>\gamma_R</math></blockquote>, can be represented as the equation : | |||
<math>x=Re^{iv}</math></blockquote> | |||
where v is a variable that goes from <math>\pi</math></blockquote>to | |||
<math>\mathrm{d}x=Rie^{iv} \mathrm{d} v</math></blockquote> | |||
plugging it back into our original integrals | |||
<math> \oint\limits_{H}\frac{1}{x^2+1} \mathrm{d} x=\int\limits_{\pi}^{0} \frac{Rie^{iv} \mathrm{d} v}{(Re^{iv})^2+1} +\int\limits_{R}^{R}\frac{1}{x^2+1} \mathrm{d} x</math></blockquote> | |||
