Hi all, I'm studying Complex Analysis and encountered a problem with calculating a residue of a function.
I'm supposed to calculate Resz=0 z cos2zπ.
I noticed that 0≤∣zcos2zπ∣=∣z∣∣cos2zπ∣≤∣z∣→0(z→0)=>z→0limzcos2zπ=0thus, z=0 is a removable singularity.
That means that Resz=0 z cos2zπ=0, because the Laurent series has no singular coefficients (c−k=0, ∀k∈N).
But in my class, by expanding the function into a Laurent series, we concluded that c−1=−π2 (c-1 is the coefficient of 1/z in the Laurent series expansion), thus the residue is -pi ^2, and that's the result that Wolfram Alpha also provides.
What's wrong with my line of thought?
