What values of z in the complex plane make the series absolutely convergent?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on determining the values of z in the complex plane for which the series ∑(1/n!)(1/z)^n is absolutely convergent. Participants suggest using the ratio test to analyze the convergence of the series. One user points out that the series resembles the exponential function exp{1/z}, which aids in understanding its behavior. The original poster expresses a desire to improve their understanding and acknowledges their struggles with the concepts. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the importance of logical reasoning and clarifying complex series convergence.

Hi,
In this Problem i am finding Problem to calculate the set of z:
Pls help
Determine all z \subset C for which the following series is absolutely convergent:

\sum (1/n!)(1/z)^n

Thx

Do the terms look familiar? What if you set w=\frac{1}{z}?
 
okay ...but generally how to solve such kind of problems..can u be more logical pls
 
Use the ratio test (and i don't think you should accuse others of not being logical. pointing out that this is the series for exp{1/z} give or take a constant is very logical. you ought to put in the limits too).
 
its just my concepts are not clear...how can i accuse anyone here..i have learned a lot from ppl here and i want to improve
Sometimes even in my class i end up asking such stupid questions that whole class bursts into laughter..
Thx for it and urs reply in pm...
 
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Thread 'Imaginary Pythagorus'
I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
