What values of z in the complex plane make the series absolutely convergent?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on determining the values of z in the complex plane for which the series ∑(1/n!)(1/z)^n is absolutely convergent. Participants suggest using the ratio test to analyze the convergence of the series. One user points out that the series resembles the exponential function exp{1/z}, which aids in understanding its behavior. The original poster expresses a desire to improve their understanding and acknowledges their struggles with the concepts. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the importance of logical reasoning and clarifying complex series convergence.

Hi,
In this Problem i am finding Problem to calculate the set of z:
Pls help
Determine all z \subset C for which the following series is absolutely convergent:

\sum (1/n!)(1/z)^n

Thx

Do the terms look familiar? What if you set w=\frac{1}{z}?
 
okay ...but generally how to solve such kind of problems..can u be more logical pls
 
Use the ratio test (and i don't think you should accuse others of not being logical. pointing out that this is the series for exp{1/z} give or take a constant is very logical. you ought to put in the limits too).
 
its just my concepts are not clear...how can i accuse anyone here..i have learned a lot from ppl here and i want to improve
Sometimes even in my class i end up asking such stupid questions that whole class bursts into laughter..
Thx for it and urs reply in pm...
 
Thread 'Video on imaginary numbers and some queries'
Hi, I was watching the following video. I found some points confusing. Could you please help me to understand the gaps? Thanks, in advance! Question 1: Around 4:22, the video says the following. So for those mathematicians, negative numbers didn't exist. You could subtract, that is find the difference between two positive quantities, but you couldn't have a negative answer or negative coefficients. Mathematicians were so averse to negative numbers that there was no single quadratic...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'
Here I made a terrible mistake of assuming this to be an equilateral triangle and set 2sinx=1 => x=pi/6. Although this did derive the double angle formulas it also led into a terrible mess trying to find all the combinations of sides. I must have been tired and just assumed 6x=180 and 2sinx=1. By that time, I was so mindset that I nearly scolded a person for even saying 90-x. I wonder if this is a case of biased observation that seeks to dis credit me like Jesus of Nazareth since in reality...
