residue (Definition)

Let $U \subset \mathbb{C}$ be a domain and let $f: U \longrightarrow \mathbb{C}$ be a function represented by a Laurent series $$ f(z) := \sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty c_k (z-a)^k $$ centered about $a$ The coefficient $c_{-1}$ of the above Laurent series is called the residue of $f$ at $a$ and denoted $\operatorname{Res}(f;a)$
