Partial Fractions: Expanding 1/(1+z^3)^2

[jameson2]

I'm trying to do a question that requires the expansion of the following using partial fractions:
f(z)=\frac{1}{(1+z^3)^2}.
The fact that the bottom is squared is throwing me off for some reason... I've factorized the bottom, but I'm not sure whether I should use the complex roots or not, or even if it's possible without using complex roots.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hey there,
The trick is to use identity 1+Z^3=(1+z)(1-Z+Z^2) and then just square this expression and do the partial fraction as usual.
Hope this helps)

\frac{1}{(1+z^3)^2}= \frac{1}{(z+1)^2(z^2-z+1)^2}
and can be written as "partial fractions" as
\frac{A}{z+1}+ \frac{B}{(z+1)^2}+ \frac{Cx+D}{z^2- z+1}+ \frac{Ex+F}{(z^2- z+1)^2}

There was an earlier question about the "principal part" or "Laurent series" for 1/(z^2+1)^2 which I answered by reducing to partial fractions with complex coefficients. Is this related to that thread?
