Homework Statement



f(z)=cot(pi*z)/(z^2+1)

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


now I want to get the residue at z=i, I know the definition of f(z)'s residue form
but when I try to get the expansion of cot(pi*z) at z=i, I used a lot of method
like use sin*csc this form but due to the reason I cannot get the expansion of csc(A+B)
i CANNOT get the result

Could you tell me the formula of csc(A+B) or other more easier method to figure this problem? thanks

cot = cotangent = cos / sin. I don't know why you are using csc = cosecant = 1 / sin

cause i need to get the multiplication of two polynomial not division

You don't have to expand cot(pi*z) at z=i. cot(pi*z) is analytic at z=i, it has a perfectly well defined limit there. The singularity is only in the denominator.

I got it... thanks so much
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
