complex analysis - Proof of identity principle for power series



enter image description hereFormer: I want to proof that a convergent power series in Br(0) has only coefficents that are equal to zero (identity priniciple for power series).
Let's write the power series as P(z)=n=0anzn.
I read in some book that I can write the coefficents like that:
an=P(n)(0)n!,


but I'm not sure why. Anyway then I get
P(z)=n=0P(n)(0)n!zn=exp(z)n=0P(n)(0)?=0

Maybe I'm on the wrong way. Can somebody give me a hint how to start?



Edit: I want to proof that a convergent power series that is constant zero can only have zero coefficents. Still I can write: P(z)=n=0anzn0 and now I have
0n=0anzn


Answer



The following result is standard: suppose that P(z) converges for some z00. Let r=|z0|. Then P(z) converges for all z in the open ball B centered at 0 with radius r, uniformly on compact sets. In particular, P(z) is a continuous function on B.



Now, suppose not all the coefficients an are zero. Choose an0 with n minimal. Then



P(z)=zn(an+an+1z+)



for all zB. For the same reason as above, g(z)=an+an+1z+ is continuous on B, with g(0)0. So there is a punctured neighborhood of 0 in which g(z), and hence P(z), is not zero.
