Laurent Series Expansion computing terms

Question

I need to compute the -5th term to the 5th term of the Laurent expansion of $(\cos(z))^2/\sin(z)$. I know that I can make this into $\csc(z)-\sin(z)$ but I wouldn't know what to do with the $\csc(z)$ in terms of a series. Also, I feel like several of these Laurent expansion coefficients would be zero. Could someone give me some help with this one I am struggling a little bit with Laurent series in general. I also need to find the domain of convergence.

Answer 1

$$ \cos^2z = 1-z^2+\frac{z^4}{3}-\frac{2z^6}{45}+\cdots $$

The function $\frac{1}{\sin z}$ has a simple pole at $z=0$ and it is analytic in a punctured disc around $z=0$, so it's Laurent series is $\frac{a_{-1}}{z}+a_0+a_1z + \cdots$ and it converges to $\frac{1}{\sin z}$ in a punctured disc around $z=0$.
Since $\sin z = z-\frac{z^3}{6}+\frac{z^5}{120} + \cdots$ we have have for $z\ne0$: $$ 1=\Big( \frac{a_{-1}}{z}+a_0+a_1z + \cdots \Big)\Big( z-\frac{z^3}{6}+\frac{z^5}{120} -\frac{z^7}{5040}+ \cdots \Big) $$ or: $$ 1=\Big( a_{-1}+a_0z+a_1z^2 + \cdots \Big)\Big( 1-\frac{z^2}{6}+\frac{z^4}{120} -\frac{z^6}{5040}+ \cdots \Big) $$

By comparing the coefficients of the powers of $z$ in both sides you get: $$ a_{-1}=1,\space a_0=0, \space a_1=\frac{1}{6}, \space a_2=0, \space a_3=\frac{7}{360}, \space a_4=0, \space a_5=\frac{31}{15120} $$
And so we have: $$ \frac{1}{\sin z} = \frac{1}{z} + \frac{z}{6} + \frac{7z^3}{360} + \frac{31z^5}{15120} + \cdots $$
And therefore: $$ \frac{\cos^2z}{\sin z} = \Big( \frac{1}{z} + \frac{z}{6} + \frac{7z^3}{360} + \frac{31z^5}{15120} + \cdots \Big) \Big( 1-z^2+\frac{z^4}{3}-\frac{2z^6}{45}+\cdots \Big) $$

$$ = \frac{1}{z}-\frac{5z}{6} + \frac{67z^3}{360}-\frac{19z^5}{3024} + \cdots $$

Answer 2

An idea:

$$\frac{\cos^2x}{\sin x}=\frac{\left(1-\frac{x^2}2+\frac{x^4}{24}-\ldots\right)^2}{x-\frac{x^3}6+\frac{x^5}{120}-\ldots}=\frac{1-x^2+\frac{x^4}3+\mathcal (x^6)}{x\left(1-\frac{x^2}6+\mathcal O(x^4)\right)}=$$

$$=\frac1x\left(1-x^2+\frac{x^4}3+\mathcal O (x^6)\right)\left(1+\frac{x^2}6+\frac{x^4}{36}+\mathcal O(x^6)\right)$$
