Anyone know something about Laurent series?

Because I still don't have a clue.

[Cobraroll]

^In a couple of years, I might be able to help you. Hope you're patient!

[Jamaha]

Would be, but the deadline is this Friday.

[Nebbles]

Qew: Geez, thanks! XD That should help, because we have to memorize all the values and fill in the circle on Friday.

lol yep there's a quiz I might flunk

[Ruto]

Would be, but the deadline is this Friday.

I would try google or wikipedia :/ I haven't done anything with series in a long time and my books don't have anything on the Laurent series.

I've Googled, read through the chapter in Advanced Engineering Mathematics a few times, read through the lecture slides.

I know in principle what it is and how it's supposed to work but I just can't figure out how to calculate the coefficients.

here are some examples. I'm not sure what you mean by coefficients but worked through examples usually help if you can't figure out how to use a theorem.

Oh and nebbles, good luck on the test! If you remember the two triangles it'll be easy. For the second triangle all you have to remember is "2, 1, root(3)". Since you know the angles you should know if you have a large angle it will correspond to a large side so the pi/6 is opposite the 1 since it's the smallest, pi/2 (the right angle) is opposite the 2 and pi/3 is opposite root(3).

JaMaHa, is this by any chance what you're looking for?

Not sure how a Maclaurin series is related to a Laurent series, but it might be of help. Perhaps.

My dad is OBSESSED with Khan academy. -.-

[Mashi]

Khan Academy. <3
http://patrickjmt.com/ is good too though.

[Saria]

^We use Khan Academy for math sometimes.

[Qew]

hehe I admit I watched the video out of curiousity. Not quite as glamorous as I thought, it reminds me of newton's method.

Nonetheless Khan academy is badass! *joins with Mashi and Saria*

[Saria]

*Kicks you out.*

[Mashi]

*Kicks self out to join Qew*

Also, guys, you should all convince your schools to get edmodo because it's super coll.

[Saria]

*Kicks self out to join Qew because I love him and I'm yag.*

Fixed. /Trollface
