 Cosecant partial-fraction identity

For $w\notin \mathbb{Z}$, integrate $\pi \cot (\pi \zeta )/(\zeta -w{)}^2$ around large squares whose sides have half-integer coordinates. The cotangent is uniformly bounded on these sides and the integral tends to zero. The residue theorem gives residues $(n-w{)}^{-2}$ at the integers and $-{\pi }^2{\csc }^2(\pi w)$ at $w$, proving the identity. For $\mathrm{Im}w>0$, the geometric-series formula for the cotangent also gives ${\pi }^2{\csc }^2(\pi w)=-4{\pi }^2{\sum }_{r\ge 1}r{e}^{2\pi irw}$.
