Hello,
In quantum mechanics I often come across with some very complicated integrals which I need to calculate in an analytic methods (For ex. symmetric and antisymmetric functions , Gaussians ,etc.)
Do you know where I can find a summery of those techniques?
thanks

Most of the fancy integrals in QM are solved using the residue theorem from complex analysis.
