For any , a Laurent series converges uniformly on the circle , so termwise contour integration is valid. Multiplication by and integration gives, for every integer ,
Indeed, the integral of is for and zero otherwise. These coefficients depend only on , so any two Laurent expansions must agree coefficient by coefficient. This proves uniqueness, including all terms of the principal part.
