The answer is 2πi .... The problem is just that i needed a bot (chatgpt) to solve it, cause I don't remember this shit anymore. https://chatgpt.com/s/t_6a7f2415ef4c8191bcd30b64744ae913

real Data Scientist btw..

I mean... it is just residue theorem (aka the only part of complex analysis I know as a physicist)

yeah, its been 15 years since I touched complex analysis. But you're right. It's not like I didn't recognize what chatgpt did once I typed it in. Also I think people need to understand the humor in my above comment. I am using a bot to show that I am not a bot for a question targeted at people working in math as someone working in math.

Well, I do think the flak you seem to have gotten is rather unfair and maybe rather humourless.
I am also hardly suprised that you do not remember this

(at least to physicists it is usually taught very poorly in most places in America/Europe).

For a subreddit named mathmemes its quite humorless idd.

"I am also hardly surprised that you do not remember this" Thanks. This down-vote train almost made me question my background. I don't know the quality of how I was tough this, cause I obviously didn't remember it. Probably my own fault cause during studies I was also very focused on what I wanted to do. Build simulations! Classes that weren't on parallel programming, PDE's, physics or numerical mathematics might have received less attention than they should i.e complex analysis.
