1) The document discusses evaluating contour integrals using the residue theorem. It provides examples of calculating residues and evaluating integrals where the contour encloses poles.
2) The residue of a function f(z) at a pole z=a is the coefficient of the (z-a)^-1 term in the Laurent series expansion of f(z) about z=a.
3) According to the residue theorem, the value of a contour integral of a function along a closed loop is equal to 2i times the sum of the residues of the function enclosed by the contour.

Since the last expression involves only the coefficient 1, we call 1 as the residue of

To obtain the residue of a function () at = , it may appear that the Laurent
expansion of () about = must
