Clarification of what should I do in this Laurent series expansion

32 Views Asked by At

For $z \in \mathbb{C}$, I am asked to expand $$ \frac{1}{z-2}-\frac{1}{z-3} $$ into Laurent series around $z_0 =2$. I know how to handle the right term, but how about the left one? should I expand it too? and if so how? It is not clear to me what the final answer should look like.

You don't expand it, since it is already of the form $\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty a_n(z-2)^n$; you simply take$$a_n=\begin{cases}1&\text{ if }n=-1\\0&\text{ otherwise.}\end{cases}$$
