Homework Statement
For a function f(z)= [e^(2*pi*i*a*z)] / [1 + z^2] I need to find the order of the poles at i and -i.
(I'm pretty sure these are the only poles.)

The Attempt at a Solution
I'm not totally clear on how I go about finding the orders. I have a vague idea: I can factorise the bottom line to get (z-i)(z+i) and I think this means that both poles are of order 1.
But I want to try do the question by using the power series of the numerator and denominator, by comparing the number of "zero coefficients" in each power series.
Anyone know how to do this method?
