Cauchy's Integral Formula Problem

[phyzmatix]

Homework Statement

Use Cauchy's Integral Formula to compute the following integral:

\int_{|z|=2\pi}\frac{\pi \sin(z)}{z(z-\pi)}dz

Homework Equations

\int_C \frac{f(z)dz}{z-z_0}=2\pi if(z_0)

The Attempt at a Solution

If we let

f(z)=\frac{\pi \sin(z)}{z}

and

z_0=\pi

Then

\int_{|z|=2\pi}\frac{\pi \sin(z)/z}{(z-\pi)}dz=0

Is this correct? I'm concerned about the fact that the function isn't differentiable at z=pi and that pi is an interior point of C...Part of me thinks that this integral cannot be evaluated with Cauchy's formula, but I do not yet understand the subject matter well enough to know for sure.

I think you need to look at where the integral has the socalled simple pole

and z= \pi is a simple pole.

Cheers Susanne! Going to try that angle
