Limits in complex numbers and functions

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on evaluating limits involving complex numbers and functions, specifically the limits of expressions like lim(n → ∞) n*((1+i)/2)^n, lim(z → 0) (sin(z)/z)(1/z^2), and lim(z → e^(iπ/3)) (z - e^(iπ/3))(z/(z^3 + 1)). The first limit is confirmed to be convergent to 0 due to the modulus of (1+i)/2 being less than 1. The second limit can be approached using power series expansions, while the third limit requires factoring and recognizing the 0/0 indeterminate form, which can be resolved using L'Hôpital's rule or power series.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of complex numbers and their properties
  • Familiarity with limits and continuity in calculus
  • Knowledge of power series and Taylor expansions
  • Experience with L'Hôpital's rule for indeterminate forms
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the convergence of complex sequences and series
  • Learn about power series expansions for trigonometric functions
  • Explore L'Hôpital's rule in the context of complex functions
  • Investigate the properties of analytic functions and their limits
USEFUL FOR

Students and educators in mathematics, particularly those studying complex analysis, calculus, and limit evaluation techniques.

I think I got it.
I ended up with
(1-i√3)/6
Sound right?? Should be if I did all the calculations right.

That looks like what I got.
