comment Cauchy's residue theorem with an infinite number of poles
Sorry, I was thinking of a contour, say some hemisphere, whose radius goes to infinity (oriented appropriately), and I was just thinking of isolated singularities within the contour. Talk of non-isolated singularities just threw me a bit.

comment Cauchy's residue theorem with an infinite number of poles
so if there are a countable number of isolated singularities within the contour, say at the positive integers only, then we can apply the residue theorem so long as the infinite sum of their residues converges?

but what if the integrand has infinitely many singularities at the positive integers only, for example. Each of these singularities is isolated, but there are just infinitely many of them. None of these are non-isolated singularities.

comment How to find the derivate of the function $f(x)=x^{x^{x}}$
Is $f(x)=x^{(x^x)}$ or $f(x)=(x^x)^x$?

comment Proving two expressions can never be simultaneously satisfied
This is very insightful, thanks. Is there a typo here... should we not have $\sum a_i^2=0$.

comment Proving two expressions can never be simultaneously satisfied
No this is not my question. My first question asks whether my approach to the example problem is correct. My second question asks if anyone knows of any general tools or theories which might be of use to attack such problems. For example, for $f$ and $g$ linear I am aware we can frame the question as a simultaneous equation and solve that way.

comment Is it possible to express $e$ in terms of $\pi$ algebraically and vice-versa?
Yes, but what you are saying above is that $e=e^{i(−1/\pi)i\pi}$, so in fact you're expressing $e$ in terms of $e$ and $\pi$, not $\pi$ alone.

@Gary Myerson I don't think so since then we would have $$e=(-1)^{i(-1/\pi)}=e^{i(-1/\pi)\log(-1)}=e^{i(-1/\pi)i\pi}=e,$$ so we just get back what we started with.

So there could be an algebraic relation that exists that we just don't know of. Ok.

But doesn't $e^{i\pi}+1=0$ show them to be algebraically independent?
