  • I think some reference weblinks or books would be appreciated, since this is a open encyclopedia for everybody, the method is somehow poorly explained (no examples) --83.213.38.122 16:18, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Appart from lacking references, the article is a bit 'fuzzy' the author does not mention that with x=1/z the series:

f(z)= \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_{n} z^{n}

is just a Zeta transform , which can be reversed to get the integral:

2\pi i a_{n} = \oint f(z)z^{-(n+1)}

to get the a(n), however the article does not mention an example or something similar to understand the ' Circle method' --85.85.100.144 19:04, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
