Can $frac{1}{z}$ be expressed as a Laurent series?












0












$begingroup$


Can the complex function $frac{1}{z}$ be expressed as a Laurent series, around $z=0$, over the whole complex plane? I have tried re-writing it as $frac{-1}{1-(z-1)}$. However I can only expand this under the condition that $left | z-1 right |geq 1$, which won't satisfy $left | z right |geq 0$.



It's probably worth noting that I'm actually trying to calculate the Laurent series of $frac{1}{z-i}$ around $z=i$ and was merely using $w=z-i$ as a substitution.

There is nothing to calculate in either case.
The Laurent series of $frac{1}{z-i}$ around $z=i$ is in the form:



begin{align}cdots+frac{a_{-n}}{(z-i)^n}+frac{a_{-n+1}}{(z-i)^{n-1}}+cdots+frac{a_{-1}}{z-i}+a_0+a_1(z-i)+a_2(z-i)^2+cdotsend{align}



with all coefficients equal to zero except $a_{-1}=1$.
