Contour integration
Method of evaluating certain integrals along paths in the complex plane
In complex analysis, contour integration is a method of evaluating certain integrals along paths in the complex plane. Contour integration is used to study complex-valued functions that are holomorphic in a region. Contour integration is closely related to the calculus of residues, a method of complex analysis.
