So, does the Laurent series of an analytic function f allow convergence outside of the RoC for the normal power series of f?--[[User:Rgilhamw|Rgilhamw]] 19:50, 25 November 2009 (UTC) | So, does the Laurent series of an analytic function f allow convergence outside of the RoC for the normal power series of f?--[[User:Rgilhamw|Rgilhamw]] 19:50, 25 November 2009 (UTC) | ||
