Question

The study of mathematical objects near these features is called monodromy. The (15[1])movable type of these features are subject to the Painlevé property. (15[1])An analytic function must take on all complex values except one infinitely often near one type of these features according (15[1])to the Great Picard Theorem. The degree of the principal part of a Laurent series is used to classify these features, as an infinite amount of negative degree terms means one of these features is (*) essential. (-5[1])When an analytic function is bounded in a punctured neighborhood (10[1])of one of these points, then it is called removable. The residue theorem (-5[1])helps calculate line integrals of holomorphic functions with these values inside the contour. One example of these points for the function 1 over z is at z equals 0. For 10 points, name these values contrasted with discontinuities for which a function is not defined. ■END■ (10[1]0[1])
