If n = 2m the coefficients vanish, and if n = 2m + 1, the coefficients
reduce to

again with R = oo. That the two series can be combined as shown for
any value of z for which both converge follows from Theorem 4.12. See
also Theorem 8.6.
By term-by-term differentiation of the series in (8.3-9) we obtain

- To expand f(z) = Log(l + z) in power of z. The given function is
analytic in the region D = C - {x: -oo < x::; -1}. Hence the nearest
singularity off to the origin is s = -1, so the desired expansion has radius
of convergence R = 1. We have
J'(z) = (1 + z)-^1
J"(z) = (-1)(1 + z)-^2
f(n)(z) = (-1)(-2) · · · [-(n - 1)](1 + z)-n
Hence, f(O) = Log 1 = 0, f'(O) = 1, J1'(0) = -1!,
