The power series for f (z) converges inside the unit circle and diverges outside the
unit circle. It oscillates (does not converge) on the unit circle.

Brook Taylor (1685-1731)
Taylor's theorem is named after the
mathematician Brook Taylor, who stated
a version of it in 1712. Yet an explicit
expression of the error was not
provided until much later on by Joseph-
Louis Lagrange. An earlier version of
the result was already mentioned in
1671 by James Gregory.

Properties of Taylor Series
A Taylor series will converge for |z-z0| < Rc (i.e., inside the radius of convergence).
A Taylor series will diverge for |z-z0| > Rc (i.e., outside the radius of convergence).
A Taylor series converges uniformly for |z-z0| R < Rc.
A Taylor series may be differentiated or integrated term-by-term within the
radius of convergence. This does not change the radius of convergence.
A Taylor series converges absolutely inside the radius of convergence (i.e.,
the series of absolute values converges).
Within the common region of convergence, we can add and multiply Taylor
series, collecting terms to find the resulting Taylor series.
When a Taylor series converges, the resulting function is an analytic function.
Rc = radius of convergence = distance to closest singularity

Pierre Alphonse Laurent (1813 -1854)
The Laurent series was named after and first
published by Pierre Alphonse Laurent in
1843. Karl Weierstrass may have discovered
it first in a paper written in 1841, but it was
not published until after his death.

Note:
Often it is easier to directly use the geometric series (GS) formula
together with partial fraction expansions and some algebra,
instead of the contour integral approach, to determine the
coefficients of the Laurent expansion.
This is illustrated next (using the same example as in Example 1).
