Abstract

The paper is divided into three different parts, which use the residue theorem to solve several different integrals, namely, the Euler integral, the Gaussian integral, the Fresnel integral, and so forth. The process of using the resiude theorem to determine these integrals is to first turn the integrals into convenient forms of complex integrals, and then find integral perimeters so that any integral on one of the curves is the required integral, through the drawing observation of the contour to write the original integral into the form of multiple integral. By studying the resiude theorem to solve the problem of complex integrals, it is demonstrated that the resiude theorem is actually a process that makes the calculation easier. These solved integrals have a wide range of applications including the study of the refraction of light, analytics, probability theory, combinatorial mathematics, and unification of the continuous Fourier transform.
