Laurent expansion for $\sqrt{z(z-1)}$
Let $f(z) = \sqrt{z(z-1)}$. The branch cut is the real interval $[0,1]$, and $f(z)>0$ for real $z$ that are greater than 1. I need to find the first few terms of the Laurent expansion of $f(z)$ for ...

Replacing $n!$ with Stirling's approximation in $e^x = \sum_n \frac{x^n}{n!}$
I was wondering if there is a closed-form expression for
$$\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{x^n}{e^{-n}n^n},$$
although I expect there is none because Mathematica cannot compute it. However, from Stirling'...

Multiplication of multiple summations of complex functions
I have a series that looks like $\sum_{l,m,n}\frac{A^{l}B^{m}C^{n}}{l!m!n!}$ where $A$ is a complex function and $B$ and $C$ are real functions. The summation is finite up to some cutoff $p$. $A$, $B$,...

Difficult De Moivre's theorem question involving series
Use De Moivre's theorem to show that
$$\sin (2m+1) \theta = (\sin^{2m+1} \theta) \cdot P_m (\cot^2 \theta)$$ for $0 < \theta < \pi/2$, where
$$P_m(x) = \sum_{k=0}^{m} (-1)^k C^{2m+1}_{2k+1} ...

Show $\liminf_n |\sum^n a_kb_{n-k}|^{-\frac{1}{n}} = \liminf_n |a_n|^{-\frac{1}{n}}$?
Suppose for some complex $a_n$ and $b_n$ such that $\liminf_n |a_n|^{-\frac{1}{n}} = \liminf_n |b_n|^{-\frac{1}{n}}= R$. Show that $\liminf_n |\sum^n a_kb_{n-k}|^{-\frac{1}{n}} = R$?
I'm somehow ...

Proving an identity with geometric series.
I've been at this for MANY hours and I think it's time I sought help.
Question: Given $k = \frac{2 \pi}{Na}\left ( p-\frac{N}{2} \right )$, prove that $\sum_{k=1}^{N}e^{ika\left ( n-m \right )}=N\...

What is the series expansion of $f(z)\cdot\exp\left({s\,\log(z)}\right)$?
For analytic $f$, how can I represent the expression $f(z)\cdot\exp\left({s\,\log(z)}\right)$, i.e. $f(z)\cdot z^s$ in the form
$$\sum_{n}^\infty\left(\sum_{k}^\infty a_k s^k\right)z^n,$$
at least ...
