7 .5 • APPLICAT IONS OF TAYLOR AND L AURENT SERIES 287
Solution Using long division, we see that
1 1 12 54
secz = --= 2 • • = 1 + - 2 z + 24 z + · · · ·
cosz 1 - ~ + ~ -ii-+ ...
Moreover, using Taylor's theorem, we see that if f (z) = secz, then J<~/^0 > = { 4 ,
so f <^4 > (O) = 5.
We close this section with some results concerning the behavior of complex
functions at points near the different types of isolated singularities. Theorem 7 .15
is due to the German mathematician G. F. Bernhard Riemann (1826-1866).
The proof of Corollary 7.12 is given as an exercise.
