Laurent Series at Infinity

6.3k Views Asked by At

I thought that finding the Laurent series was something that was straightforward, however, I am having some difficulty of finding the Laurent series of

$$f(z) = \frac{1}{z(1-z)}$$

for $z= \infty$. Any suggestions?

We can write for $|z|>1$,

$$\frac{1}{z(1-z)}=-\frac1{z^2}\frac{1}{1-z^{-1}}=-\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}z^{-n-2}$$
