Solve this three-part problem by allocating time proportionally to marks: approximately 15 minutes for part (a) on cubic optimization, 15 minutes for part (b) on field extension theory, and 20 minutes for part (c) on Laurent series expansion.

  • Part (c): Identify singularities at z = 0, 1, 2 which correspond to w = 1, 2, 3, confirming |w| > 3 excludes all singularities and ensures convergence
  • Part (c): Obtain Laurent series with only negative powers of w (analytic part vanishes), presenting coefficients explicitly as rational numbers
