This becomes increasingly difficult as the structure of the integrand becomes more complicated. In the following paragraphs we will show several techniques that avoid this problem in practice. We begin by noting that many functions that we will encounter consist of the ratio of two polynomials . rational functions 2 ff z h z . Generally we can write h z as 2 - 2i mi z - Z2 J - -Here we have assumed that we have divided out any common factors between g z and 1 2 so that 0 2 does not vanish at Z1 z2 Clearly 21 22 . are singularities of f z . Further analysis shows that the nature of the singularities are a pole of order mi at 2 21 a pole of order m2 at 2 22 and so forth. Having found the nature and location of the singularity we compute the residue as follows. Suppose we have a pole of order n. Then we know that Its Laurent expansion is z 1 V. .

For an essential singularity we must compute the residue from its Laurent expansion however essential singularities are very rare in applications. EVALUATION OF REAL DEFINITE INTEGRALS One of the important applications of the theory of residues consists in the evaluation of certain types of real definite integrals. Similar techniques apply when the integrand .
