In complex analysis, singularities are classified by examining the limit of the function at the singularity point: if the limit exists and is finite, it is a removable singularity; if the limit is infinity, it is a pole; if the limit does not exist, it is an essential singularity. Isolated singularities are further categorized as removable, poles, or essential based on the Laurent series expansion (no negative terms, finite negative terms, or infinite negative terms respectively). For rational functions P(z)/Q(z), the order of the pole at a point depends on the difference between the orders of zeros of the denominator and numerator.
