Integral of $e^{\overline{z}}$

92 Views Asked by At

So I'm suppose to integrate $e^{\overline{z}}$ along the unit circle where $z(t)=e^{it}$ and from t goes from 0 to $2\pi$. This is the work I've done so far

$\int e^{\overline{z}}dz = i\int_0^{2\pi}e^{e^{-it}}e^{it}dt = i\int_0^{2\pi}e^{e^{-it}+{it}}dt$

I tried solving this, getting $i[\frac{e^{it+e^{-it}}}{i+ie^{-it}}]$ from 0 to $2\pi$. Evaluating this I get 0 as the solution. To check if this is right I used wolframalpha which returned a value of $2\pi i$. Help as to where I messed up and what I should do instead would be greatly appreciated. I think the place i probably messed up is solving the integral. Thanks.
