Summary

The representation of complex functions frequently requires the use of infinite series expansions. The best known are Taylor and Laurent series, which represent analytic functions in appropriate domains. Applications often require that we manipulate series by termwise differentiation and integration. These operations may be substantiated by employing the notion of uniform convergence. Series expansions break down at points or curves where the represented function is not analytic. Such locations are termed singular points or singularities of the function. The study of the singularities of analytic functions is vitally important in many applications including contour integration, differential equations in the complex plane, and conformal mappings.
