Since n(|z| = 2, 0) = 1, then

Exercise 3. When z = 2πki, k ∈ Z, the function (1−e−z)n is zero, then 1
(1−e−z)n
has a
pole at z = 2πki, k ∈ Z. Let C be any regular closed curve surrounding z = 0 and not
surrounding any of the other singularities: z = 2πki, k = ±1, ±2, · · · . Then it leads to
n(C, 2πki) =

2. C∗ surrounds 0 and not 1 in the ω-plane. For this, we consider the following:
