Homework Statement



Find the residue of ##\oint { \frac { sinz }{ 2z-\pi } } dz## where ##\left| z \right| =2##[/B]

Homework Equations



##f\left( z_{ o } \right) =\frac { 1 }{ 2\pi i } \oint { \frac { f\left( w \right) }{ w-z_{ o } } } dw##

The Attempt at a Solution



It seems to me that the answer is ##2\pi i##, but the book gives ##\pi i##.

Not sure what I did wrong, I am pretty confident in my answer.

I got [itex]\pi i[/itex] as well. You probably forgot a factor of half when calculating the residue.

Where does the 1/2 factor come from?

Thanks,

Never mind, I see that it the bottom needs to have a two factored out to fit the form.

Thanks,
Chris
