SUMMARY
The integral in question is solved using the residue theorem, focusing on the singularity points where Z^2 equals an integer, leading to e^(2*pi*i*n) equating to 1. The discussion highlights that the integration path is a circle centered at (0,0) with a radius R that lies between √n and √(n+1) for each positive integer n. The number of poles enclosed by each circular path varies depending on the value of n, indicating a complex relationship between the integral and its singularities.
