The discussion revolves around the use of the residue theorem in complex analysis, specifically in relation to the summation involving the function $\cot \pi z$. Participants explore the implications of singularities and residues in this context.
Participants generally agree on the importance of using $\LaTeX$ for clarity in mathematical discussions, but there is no consensus on the specific mathematical details regarding the residue theorem and its application to the summation.
There are unresolved aspects regarding the calculation of residues and the implications of singularities, as well as the specific conditions under which the residue theorem applies in this context.
MarkFL said:Hello!
I just want to point out that uploading images rather than using $\LaTeX$ has some disadvantages. Each user is allowed to upload a certain total number of bytes of attachments (we cannot offer every user unlimited storage space), and so at some point you will run into the ceiling and not be able to upload any more images. Better to be aware of this now rather than to find this out at the point where you cannot upload an image. Also, when people respond to your posts, they cannot use the quote feature to edit your expressions/content...they must instead type everything out themselves.:)
Euge said:Hi joypav,
Note that $\cot \pi z$ has singularities at the integers. What is the residue of $\dfrac{\pi \cot \pi z}{z^2}$ at $z = n$ for some integer $n$?
joypav said:Yes, I know... I've been wanting to switch over. I use LaTeX some, for school and such, but I just need to look at how to do that here.
I hadn't considered how it would inconvenience you. I am sorry for that! I appreciate all of the help that I have received here.
