I have the following homework (Complex Ana): Let C be the perimeter of the square with vertices at the points z = 0, z =1, z =1+ i, and z = i traversed in that order. Show that Integral of C of (e ^ z) dz = 0; I worked out the mechanics of it, z(1) = t 0<= t <=1 z(2) = 1+ti z(3) = 1 + i - ti z(4) = i - ti Summation of all z(t): f(z(n)) z'(n) dt = 0; for n = 1,2,3,4 So it is OK mechanically; but I have a hard time to visualize (or understand) the relationship of (e^z) to perimeter of square. What is it? Can anyone help? Thanks a lot. DL Updated: I think I know the answer. f(z) is like a transformation function applying to z(t); like f(z)=inverse z;
more edits: 1) z = 1 + 1; (instead of z 1 +i); 2) Summation of 4 integrals (f(z(n)) z'(n) dt for n = 1, 2, 3 ,4 is 0 Sorry
more edit: Integral of C of (e ^ z) dz = 0
