3.6.10 Residues

Limit[expr, x ->  ] tells you what the value of expr is when x tends to  . When this value is infinite, it is often useful instead to know the residue of expr when x equals  . The residue is given by the coefficient of  in the power series expansion of expr about the point  .

Residue[expr, {x,  }] the residue of expr when x equals

Computing residues.
The residue here is equal to 1.

In[1]:=  Residue[1/x, {x, 0}]

Out[1]=

The residue here is zero.

In[2]:=  Residue[1/x^2, {x, 0}]

Out[2]=
