You are right - whenever there is exp(z) and we are integrating it
over some circle z = exp(i*phi), which is a very common operation,
you get the nested trigonometric functions:

exp(z) = exp(exp(i*phi)) = exp(cos(phi)) * (cos(sin(phi)) + i * sin(sin(phi)))

Interesting.

Thanks for the hint, now it should be easy. I'll try to fill in the
missing steps, when I get bored. :)
