12.1. APPLICATIONS OF THE RESIDUE THEOREM TO REAL INTEGRALS75<br />

Pro<strong>of</strong>. Fix z ∈ D \{γ}, and define<br />

g: D \{z} → C, w ↦→ f(w)<br />

w−z .<br />

Then g is holomorphic with an isolated singularity at z. Let<br />

∞�<br />

f(w) = an(w −z) n<br />

n=0<br />

be the Taylor series expansion <strong>of</strong> f near z, so that<br />

∞�<br />

g(w) = an+1(w −z) n ,<br />

n=−1<br />

and thus res(g,z) = a0 = f(z). The Residue Theorem then yields:<br />

2πiν(γ,z)f(z) = 2πiν(γ,z) res(g,z) = g(ζ)dζ =<br />

Proposition 12.1 (RationalTrigonometric Polynomials). Let p and q be polynomials<br />

<strong>of</strong> two real variables such that q(x,y) �= 0 for all (x,y) ∈ R 2 with x 2 +y 2 = 1. Then<br />
