MHB What Are the Singularity and Residue of \( \frac{e^{z^2}}{(z-i)^3} \)?

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around finding the singularity and residue of the function \( \frac{e^{z^2}}{(z-i)^3} \). Initially, a participant incorrectly identified a triple pole at \( z = i \) and calculated the residue, but later acknowledged that the function was miswritten. After correcting the function, the participant confirmed that the residue is \( \frac{-1}{e} \). The importance of correctly identifying the pole and the function's form was emphasized throughout the discussion. Accurate calculations and proper function representation are crucial in complex analysis.

Hello.
Can you check this for me, please?
Find the singularity of $\frac{e^{z^2}}{(1-z)^3}$ and find the residue for each singularity.

My solution:
There is a triple pole at z=i, therefore

$$Res_{|z=i|}f(z)=\frac{1}{2}\lim_{{z}\to{i}}\frac{d^2}{dz^2}(z-i)^3\frac{e^{z^2}}{(1-z)^3}=\lim_{{z}\to{i}}\frac{d^2}{dz^2}e^{z^2}=\lim_{{z}\to{i}}4z^2e^{z^2}$$$$=\frac{1}{2}\frac{-4}{e}=\frac{-2}{e}$$

The triple pole is at $z = 1$, not $z = i$.
 
Also, the second derivative of $e^{z^2}$ is not $4z^2e^{z^2}$.
 
Hint :

Expand $e^{z^2}$ around $z=1$.
 
Now I realize that I wrote the function wrong. It's actually
$$f(z)=\frac{e^{z^2}}{(z-i)^3}$$

Now after correcting a few things, I got
$$\frac{-1}{e}$$ as the answer.
