Question 1 (a) Develop the Laurent series expansion of f(z) = [z(z-1)]-1 about the point z= 1 valid for small values of z - 1|. Specify the range over which this expansion holds. [2) (b) Develop the Laurent series expansion of f(z) = (z(z - 1))-' about the point

valid for small values of zl. Specify the range over which this expansion holds. 2

(e) Show that the two expansions obtained in (a) and (b) above are analytic
