Exercise 1.  Evaluate the following quantities.  Be sure to show your work.

1 (e).  [Graphics:Images/ComplexGeometryModHome_gr_19.gif], where  [Graphics:Images/ComplexGeometryModHome_gr_20.gif].  

Solution 1 (e).

See text and/or instructor's solution manual.

One solution is

        [Graphics:../Images/ComplexGeometryModHome_gr_21.gif]  

A second solution is

        [Graphics:../Images/ComplexGeometryModHome_gr_22.gif]  

Which solution do you prefer.  In this case starting out using the identity  [Graphics:../Images/ComplexGeometryModHome_gr_23.gif]  led to a more complicated solution.  Good luck at finding the "tricky solutions" in complex analysis.

We are done.   

Aside.  We can let Mathematica double check our work.
