SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on the analysis of functions with poles, specifically addressing the combination of functions f and g at a pole c. Participants suggest creating rules for combining these functions and proving them, as well as finding and classifying the poles of the function \(\frac{cot(z) + cos(z)}{sin(2z)}\). The conversation emphasizes the importance of Laurent series expansions to understand the behavior of these functions under various arithmetic operations.
