The answer key says $pi i$. By Cauchy's Integral Formula 5.1 for $f''(w)$, I think the answer is $2 pi i$:
$$int_square frace^z^2z^3 dz = pi i fracd^2dz^2 e^z^2|_z=0 $$ = $ pi i (2) = 2 pi i$.
I also tried on Wolfram Alpha 1 2 for circles which I believe are homotopic to the square. I think I get the same answer with Residue Thm 9.10 and Prop 9.11:
$$int_square frace^z^2z^3 dz = 2 pi i frac12! lim_z to 0 fracd^2dz^2 (z-0)^3 frace^z^2z^3$$
$$ = pi i (2)$$
What am I doing wrong?

The correct answer is $2pi i$. I will suggest another method: expand the exponential in a power series and look at the coefficient of $frac 1 z$. This shows that the residue at $0$ is $1$ so the integral is $2pi i$.
