You can do numerical contour/line integrals, e.g. her is an integral around a square contour NIntegrate[1/z, {z, 1 - I, 1 + I, -1 + I, -1 - I, 1 - I}] Note that you can also use Integrate instead, but you don't always get the right answer: Integrate[1/z, {z, 1 - I, 1 + I, -1 + I, -1 - I, 1 - I}] gives zero instead of 2 Pi I -- Kevin J.
