Use Cauchy Integral Formula to evaluate the integral

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The integral ∫e^(e^it) dt from 0 to 2π can be evaluated using the Cauchy Integral Formula by transforming it into a contour integral. By parameterizing the unit circle with z = e^(it), the integral can be expressed in terms of a complex function f(z). This approach simplifies the evaluation of the integral by leveraging the properties of analytic functions within the defined contour.

Perhaps the best way to see how to do this question is that we somehow need to make this into a contour integral. The easiest things around which to integrate are circles right? For example, if f(z) is a complex function and we want to integrate around the unit circle \{ z \in \mathbb C: |z|^2 = 1 \}, it may be convenient to parameterize the circe as z = e^{it}. Thus if somebody asks you to integrate e^{e^{it}} for t \in [0,2\pi), what function is being integrated about what contour?
