Residue calculator

Find the coefficient of the reciprocal term in a supported local Laurent expansion.

How to use this calculator

Edit the rational function and the point z=0 inside Res. The residue of 1/z at zero is 1.

Tap the math below to edit it and see the result. Once a result is ready, press Tab on a hardware keyboard to accept it. Outside a matrix, Return completes the line; the phone math keyboard has the same Return action.

What to know

Specify the variable and point. Branch points and non-isolated singularities are not ordinary poles.

Mathlean combines visual mathematical input with computation and canvas tools. Results depend on the expression and available engine support; check important answers independently.
