9. Find two Laurent series for z-^1 (4 - z) -^2 involving powers of z and state where
they are valid.
- Find t hree Laurent series for (z^2 - 5z + 6)-^1 centered at a= 0.
1 1. Find the Laurent series for Log ( ~::) , where a and b are positive real numbers
with b > a > 1, and state where the series is valid. Hint: For these conditions,
show that Log(~=:) = Log(l - i) - Log(l - n.
Can Log z be represented by a Maclaurin series or a Laurent series about the point
a = O? Explain your answer.
Use the Maclaurin series for sin z and then long division to get the Laurent series
for csc z with a = O.
