def residue(expr, x, x0):
    """
    Finds the residue of ``expr`` at the point x=x0.

    The residue is defined as the coefficient of 1/(x-x0) in the power series
    expansion about x=x0.

    Examples
    ========

    >>> from sympy import Symbol, residue, sin
    >>> x = Symbol("x")
    >>> residue(1/x, x, 0)
    1
    >>> residue(1/x**2, x, 0)
    0
    >>> residue(2/sin(x), x, 0)
    2

    This function is essential for the Residue Theorem [1].

    # The current implementation uses series expansion to
    # calculate it. A more general implementation is explained in
    # the section 5.6 of the Bronstein's book {M. Bronstein:
    # Symbolic Integration I, Springer Verlag (2005)}. For purely
    # rational functions, the algorithm is much easier. See
    # sections 2.4, 2.5, and 2.7 (this section actually gives an
    # algorithm for computing any Laurent series coefficient for
    # a rational function). The theory in section 2.4 will help to
    # understand why the resultant works in the general algorithm.
    # For the definition of a resultant, see section 1.4 (and any
    # previous sections for more review).
