Finding singularities and residuals
Let f ( z ) = 1 ( z 1 ) ( 2 z 1 ) . Then
f ( z ) = 1 z 1 2 2 z 1 = k = 0 z k 1 z ( 1 1 2 z )
= ( 1 + z + z 2 + z 3 + + z k + ) 1 z ( 1 + 1 2 z + 1 ( 2 z ) 2 + + 1 ( 2 z ) k + )
= ( 1 + z + z 2 + z 3 + + z k + ) 1 z ( 1 + 1 2 z + 1 ( 2 z ) 2 + + 1 ( 2 z ) k + )
Therefore, the origin is an essential singularity of f ( z ) with residue 1.

There are two singularities 1 and 1 2 , so you need to expand around these singularities.
Around 1:
f ( z ) = 1 z 1 2 2 z 1 = 1 z 1 2 2 ( z 1 ) 1 = 1 z 1 2 n = 0 ( 1 ) n 2 n ( z 1 ) n = 1 z 1 n = 0 ( 1 ) n 2 n + 1 ( z 1 ) n
So 1 is a pole of order 1 with residue = 1.
Around 1 2 :
f ( z ) = 1 z 1 2 2 z 1 = 1 z 1 2 1 2 1 z 1 2 = 2 1 2 ( z 1 2 ) 1 z 1 2 = 2 n = 0 2 n ( z 1 2 ) n 1 z 1 2 = n = 0 2 n + 1 ( z 1 2 ) n 1 z 1 2
So 1 2 is a pole of order 1 with residue = 1.
