Past exam of the metric spaces and complex analysis course of the University of Oxford / 2014 / 4 / b / Solution

Fix any bounded disk avoiding the integers, and choose $R$ with $|z|\le R$ on it. For sufficiently large $|n|$, say $|n|\ge 2R$ and $|n|\ge 1$,The convergent numerical series ${\sum }_{n\ne 0}{n}^{-2}$ and the Weierstrass M-test give absolute and uniform convergence of the tails. The finitely many remaining summands are holomorphic away from their integer poles. Thus the partial sums converge locally uniformly on $\mathbb{C}\setminus \mathbb{Z}$.

By part (a)(iii), the sum is a holomorphic function on $\mathbb{C}\setminus \mathbb{Z}$. The term $n=0$ is $-1/z^2$ and is harmless on this domain; it must not be omitted.
