Homework Statement
Locate and classify the singularities of the following functions
a) f(z) = 1 / (z^3*(z^2+1))
b) f(z) = (1 - e^z)/z
c) f(z) = 1 / (1-e^z(^2))
d) f(z) = z / (e^(1/z))
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I am not sure what I need to do when it asks me to locate and classify the singularities. I tried this way.
a) f(z) has singularities when z = i or -i and singularities are fifth order poles.
(z^3*(z^2+1) = z^5 + z^3
b) f(z) has essential singularity at 0 because f(z) is defined in the whole complex plane except for z = 0.
c) f(z) has essential singularity at 0 because f(z) is defined in the whole complex plane except for z = 0.
d) since we know e^(1/z) is essential singularity at 0, f(z) = z / (e^(1/z)) is same.
Did I do right?
Please tell me if I did something wrong.
Thank you.
