Or is it that (-1)^2 isn't 1? If you are being careful, it should be noted that \(e^{ix} \; = \; e^{i\left(x+2n\pi\right)}\) I would say that the problem is here: \(ln \left( e^{2 \pi i} \right) \; = \; 2 \pi i\) This should be \(ln \left( e^{2 \pi i} \right) \; = ln \left( e^{2n \pi i} \right) \; = \; 2n \pi i \;\; \text{(n is an integer)}\) So now in the next set you have \(2n \pi i \; = \; 0 \) which is true if we choose n=0
