This video will show you how to find an improper integral through residues of a function of a complex variable using contour integration. Here I specifically chose the simplest example with the function 1/(1+x^2) to explain the essence of the method in detail, and the integral can be easily found in the usual way and the answer can be checked.
This playlist contains other videos on the TFKP, including more complex examples of applying contour integration and residues to calculating definite and improper integrals:
