Given that zz is a complex number such that z+1z=2cos3,z+\frac 1z=2\cos 3^\circ, find the least integer that is greater than z2000+1z2000.z^{2000}+\frac 1{z^{2000}}.


Leading zeroes must be inputted, so if your answer is 34, then input 034. Full credit goes to MAA for authoring these problems. These problems were taken on the AOPS website.
