Visualizing Complex Integrals

At 5:30, I meant to say -π to π.

I would also like to point out that the integral around the complex unit circle described at 7:55 is of course a particularly "nice" one - I meant to demonstrate that an integral of the function (1/z) over 𝙖𝙣𝙮 simply closed contour containing zero is equal to 2πi. However, I clearly did not show that was the case if you changed the radius of the circle or deformed it into another shape (without having it intersect itself). I encourage you to verify for yourself that the integral's value 𝙙𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚 given the application of either one of these transformations and does in fact remain equal to 2πi. What I should have mentioned was that regions of the plane where a function is holomorphic correspond to conservative Polya vector fields, so the path of integration does not matter as long as the number of poles contained within our closed contour remains constant.

The variable ß, which I mistook for the Greek letter Beta (β), is actually called 𝘌𝘴𝘻𝘦𝘵𝘵 and is used in German orthography.

This video is my (obviously horribly rushed) submission to 3blue1brown's "Summer of Math Exposition" contest.

The Polya vector fields were animated with Manim. Everything else was made in Adobe Premiere Pro.

I was planning to make a revision of this video, but I think that this more comprehensive overview of Polya vector fields makes up for what I don't discuss here:

Recently, Will Chen made a much more comprehensive video overviewing Polya vector fields on his channel:
Please check it out if you want to improve your intuition about complex integrals. I think his work does the concept justice.

jesus CHRIST, this is Thank you for elucidating the Polya Vector Field -- I finally understand it!!!

This is the third of your videos I've watched, on the same day! This could get habit-forming - wait; it already has! Thanks.

Thank you!
Until now, I was solving complex integrals without having any idea what they meant. This model also helped me develop some intuition of why Cauchy's theorem works

It's wonderful how by looking at a complex function I can recognize it - looks similar to its real counterpart . Haven't seen such depiction of complex functions as vector fields before. The resemblance between real and complex functions is remarkably beatiful.

It is a shame that this great video has such low volume. I use to watch YouTube on volume level 6-8 not to disturb the house too much. Here I am still barely hearing anything at volume level 30. That is scarily loud compared to the regular video on YouTube. Now all I can think about is not to forget to turn the volume down again before the video is over. Oh no! ADVERTS!!!!

A nicely produced video that explains this method of visualising a complex integral very well. Thanks

Thanks for the great video. What software you use to make this presentation?

Great explanation! The example Polya fields in the end where a great touch, my only complaint it would be better if you didn't redraw the axes every time they transitioned. Also you could leave them on for a bit longer. Thanks for uploading!

Nice video! This is definitely something I'd wanted to see spelled out in animation so I'm glad you did it.
A nitpick for your next video: ß (a "long s" and a regular "s" glued together) is not β (a Greek letter related to "b").

1:20 - why dont we draw new vector from top of blue to top of violet? function transforms 1+i to 0.5(1-i)

Also I have some thoughts how intuitively translate integration real function to complex function.

Bro can you please suggest me a complex book i want to do research in complex analysis

You sound kinda like Cr1tical, I'm assuming that wasn't intentional, but I'd love to know if it was
