Using Residue Theorem To Prove Value Of Summation

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on the use of LaTeX for mathematical expressions instead of image uploads in forum posts. Users are cautioned about the limitations of attachment storage, which can hinder the ability to upload images once the quota is reached. The residue of the function $\dfrac{\pi \cot \pi z}{z^2}$ at integer points is also highlighted, emphasizing the importance of understanding singularities in complex analysis. The conversation encourages the adoption of LaTeX for clarity and ease of communication in mathematical discussions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of complex analysis, specifically singularities and residues.
  • Familiarity with LaTeX for formatting mathematical expressions.
  • Knowledge of forum posting etiquette and limitations regarding attachments.
  • Basic experience with mathematical functions such as $\cot \pi z$.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the properties of residues in complex analysis.
  • Learn how to effectively use LaTeX for mathematical typesetting.
  • Explore the implications of singularities in functions like $\cot \pi z$.
  • Understand the limitations of file uploads in online forums and how to manage them.
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, students of complex analysis, forum moderators, and anyone interested in improving their mathematical communication through LaTeX.

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.:)
 
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 $n$?

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.

I got it.. thank you!

Okay, as long as you're aware of the uploading limit, that was my primary concern...I didn't want you to be "surprised." :) I'm hoping you will find using $\LaTeX$ here is easy, and if you have any questions, please feel free to post here:

As for the "inconvenience," that would only pertain to a small number of posts and I didn't mean to make it out as more than it is. Your posting style is excellent otherwise, and normally I would wait until a user has several hundred posts under their belt before "prodding" them to use $\LaTeX$, but I mostly didn't want you to get caught off-guard by the attachment limit. :)
