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
