Discussion area to prepare for the Final Exam
On problem 2. I am breaking the curve $ \gamma $ up into two piece wise curves $ \gamma_1 $ and $ \gamma_2 $ that meet when the curve $ \gamma $ crosses the negative real axis at the point $ z_0 $. I then am taking the principle branch of log as an analytic function to evaluate the two curves with the Log $ {z_0} $ values dropping out. My worry is that since $ z_0 $ sits on the branch cut that the function won't be analytic for one of the endpoints of the curves. Am I getting myself into trouble with this?--Rgilhamw 21:13, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
