Then show why z = 0 is a removable singularity of this quotient.) pages 243-244: 1a, 1d, 1e, 2a, 2c, 3, 5. p. 248: 1, 2, 3a, 4, 6c. p. 255-257: 1, 2a, 3a, 4a, 5, 7, 8a, 9, 10, 11 (Hint for 11: consider the function g = 1/f. Suppose there are infinitely many poles. By problem 10, there is an accumulation point, call it a. The goal is to show that f has a pole at a. First, there must then be a neighborhood U of a such that f has no zeroes, since otherwise, we could apply problem 10 to show that f(a) = 0, clearly contradicting that a is an accumulation point of poles. Moreover, if f has a pole at z, then g(z) = 0. Therefore, since f is analytic inside C except possibly just poles, then 1/f is analytic on U. By problem 10 again, g = 1/f has a zero at a. That is, g(a) = 0. Therefore, by a lemma/theorem in the text, g(z) = (z-a)^m h(z), for some h which is analytic and nonzero at a. Thus, solving for f, we get that f has a pole at a, finally. But poles are isolated, contradiction)
