If the Laurent series has only finitely many terms with negative powers of z - c, then the singularity is a pole. The biggest negative exponent is the order of the pole.

Example: Singularities of rational functions with no common factors in its numerator and denominator. (These come from setting the denominator equal to 0.)

If the Laurent series has infinitely many terms with negative powers of z - c, then the singularity is essential.

Example: e^(1/z) = 1 + (1/z) + (1/2!) 1/z^2 + ... has an essential singularity at z = 0.

What is the difference between the north on a magnetic and a north pole?

The two are opposite of one another, but there is no way to distinguish them, except with another magnet, or by observing the direction in which, for example, an electron beam is deflected, or an electric wire with DC current is pulled.CommentIt is very easy to identify the north pole of a magnet. It will attract the south-seeking pole of a compass.
