In complex analysis, a meromorphic function on an open subset D of the complex plane is a function that is holomorphic on all D except a set of isolated points, which are poles for the function. (The terminology comes from the Ancient Greek “meros” (μέρος), meaning part, as opposed to “holos” (ὅλος), meaning whole.)
