      When dealing with holomorphic functions (complex differentiable) one actually integrates just by calculating derivatives quite frequently.
      Integrals are much harder than derivatives,so this can save a lot of time.

      I had quite a few good to excellent teachers from Kindergarten through college, a lot of OK teachers, and a few bad ones as well. The best teacher I ever had was Bruce Hasegawa: jnm.snmjournals.org/content/49/9/37N.full.pdf+html
      I met Bruce at 8:00 a.m. on August 30, 1976, on my very first day at Fresno State. I was a college freshman two days shy of my 18th birthday and Bruce was the graduate-level (M.S.) instructor for Math 75 (first semester calculus). I had taken A.P. Calculus in high school and had done well, but I decided to start Calculus over because of its importance for my engineering curriculum. Bruce was brilliant, but he never made us feel inferior. Bruce had the rare ability to explain complicated topics in a way we could understand. He was also very enthusiastic. One day, after proving the Mean Value Theorem, he stood back from his three neatly marked chalk boards and gleefully asked, "Now, isn't that beautiful?" Because of Bruce, my college career got off to a great start. I later took a Physics lab from Bruce and he was equally good there. All throughout my college career, when Bruce and I would cross paths, he would always ask what I was up to, how I was progressing through school, and so on. He cared about all his students and ex-students that way.
      When I worked on my 30-yr high school reunion, while tracking down classmates, I decided to see if I could locate other people I had lost track of. I was saddened to learn that Bruce had passed away just a couple months before I began my search for him. The world lost a brilliant mind and an excellent teacher.
