The Laurent theorem says that if is analytic on an annulusthen it has a unique Laurent seriesconverging locally uniformly on that annulus, wherefor any positively oriented circle in the annulus around .
An isolated singularity at is a point at which is not analytic although it is analytic on some punctured neighbourhood. It is removable when every with vanishes; it is a pole of order when and for ; and it is essential when infinitely many negative-index coefficients are nonzero.
For ,For ,The coefficients are unique after the annulus is fixed; these expansions differ because they represent the function on different annuli. At zero the first expansion has principal part , so zero is a simple pole with residue .
