Homework Statement


the function is Exp[-w^2]/w^2, how to solve the Fourier transform analytically with Residue theorem?
It is better if there is more general results.
Mathematica can solve it analytically, but I need a human-soluable way.

The Attempt at a Solution


My attempt follows the Fresnel integral, but there is still something wrong.
