Laurent series for $\frac{z}{z+1}$ on $|z|>1$

161 Views Asked by At

Calculate the Laurent series for $\displaystyle\frac{z}{z+1}$ when $|z|>1$.

There is really no singularity here, right? Can I just use a Taylor series, or what should I do?

For $|z|\gt1$, $$\frac{z}{z+1}=\frac1{1+\frac1z}=\sum_{n\geqslant0}\frac{(-1)^n}{z^n}.$$ Edit: For $|z|\lt1$, $$\frac{z}{z+1}=\sum_{n\geqslant0}(-1)^nz^{n+1}.$$
