Hello, this can be solved analytically letting \theta=2\arctan(\phi)


NOTE Take what I am about to say with extreme caution...I am a novice at this and just learning so wait for confirmation!

I think this integral can also be solved using Residues by considering the function

f(z)=\frac{i}{(z-a)(az-1)} and taking

\int_{|z|=1}f(z)~dz
