Write the Laurent series about $a$ as ${\sum }_{k\in \mathbb{Z}}{c}_k(z-a{)}^k$. The isolated singularity is:

These cases exhaust the possible principal parts. The residue isFor the first example, $\sin z=z+O(z^3)$ givesThus zero is a double pole, with residue zero. For the other example,so the ratio is $-z/2+O(z^2)$. Its singularity is removable, with extended value zero and residue zero. The numerator's zero has higher order than the denominator's, so there is no pole.

A simple zero means $h(a)=0$ and $h^{\prime }(a)\ne 0$. The local factorization is $h(z)=(z-a)h_1(z)$, where $h_1$ is holomorphic and $h_1(a)=h^{\prime }(a)\ne 0$. ThusThe numerator is holomorphic near $a$, so its constant Taylor coefficient is the coefficient of $(z-a{)}^{-1}$ in the quotient. ThereforeIf $g(a)=0$, the possible pole cancels and the residue is zero; the formula does not require $g/h$ actually to have a pole. This is the residue formula for a quotient at a simple denominator zero.

Consider the counterclockwise unit circle and setThe parametrization $z=e^{i\theta }$ givesThe imaginary part is zero: replacing $\theta$ by $2\pi -\theta$ conjugates the integrand, since $n$ is an integer and $x$ is real. The real part is precisely the defining Bessel integral, so $I=J_n(x)$.

Both exponential series converge absolutely and uniformly on the circle. Their product may therefore be integrated term by term:Uniform absolute convergence can also be checked by summing the absolute coefficient bounds, which gives $e^{|x|}$. The residue is obtained exactly when $n-1+j-k=-1$, or $k=n+j$. The Cauchy coefficient formula consequently yieldsThis proves the Bessel function of the first kind series directly from its integral, including the sign and factorial normalization.
