Etymology

Origin of meromorphic

Probably earlier than 1885–90; mero- + -morphic

Example Sentences

Dr. Joshi used the vivid image of volcanoes dotting a landscape to describe meromorphic functions.

From Scientific American

It says that you can basically recreate a meromorphic function if you know the locations of the poles and the behavior, or to use Dr. Joshi’s word, strength of the function around the poles.

From Scientific American

A function which has no singular points for finite values of z other than poles is called a meromorphic function.

From Project Gutenberg

The single valued functions which occur, as explained above, in the inversion of algebraic integrals of the first kind, for p > 1, are meromorphic.

From Project Gutenberg

The theory of such single valued meromorphic periodic functions is simpler than that of meromorphic functions of several variables in general, as it is sufficient to consider only finite values of the variables; it is the natural extension of the theory of doubly periodic functions previously discussed.
