Re: Complex line integral
Try this: if you decompose
into its real and imaginary part, then what are the sum

and the difference

equal to?
Re: Complex line integral
I think i see, is i that the countour integral of the real part plus the contour integral of the imag part = contour integral of z, and the difference of them = contour integral of conjugate of z ?
Re: Complex line integral
Up to a factor, yes. Just write the integrand
as
and use the fact that the integral is a linear operator, in the sense that
 dx = \alpha \int f(x) dx)
and
![\int [f(x) + g(x)] dx = \int f(x) dx + \int g(x) dx](http://latex.codecogs.com/png.latex?\int [f(x) + g(x)] dx = \int f(x) dx + \int g(x) dx)
