I was just thinking last night about all of the things I can do now via the internet that was either impossible before or time consumming and difficult at the least. I can send and receive mail instantaneously, I can get and pay bills online. I can access books I never even knew existed...

this question doesn't seem tough but i can't find anything like it. \int\frac{e^{ax}}{1+e^{x}}dx along the real line (a is between 1 and 0). I know this is a complex analysis question, so i took the complex integral (along a semicircle where the diameter is the real numbers). by residue...
