Using Cauchy's Integral Theorem as a basis, what may be a new series representation for Dirichlet's function (s) , and hence Riemann's function (s) , is obtained in terms of the Exponential Integral function E s (i) of complex argument. From this basis, infinite sums are evaluated, unusual integrals are reduced to known functions and interesting identities are unearthed. The incomplete functions (s) and (s) are defined and shown to be intimately related to some of these interesting integrals. An identity relating Euler, Bernouli and Harmonic numbers is developed. It is demonstrated that a known simple integral with complex endpoints can be utilized to evaluate a large number of different integrals, by choosing varying paths between the endpoints.
