For essential singularities of real valued functions, see Classification of discontinuities.
In complex analysis, an essential singularity of a function is a "severe" singularity near which the function exhibits striking behavior.
The category essential singularity is a "left-over" or default group of isolated singularities that are especially unmanageable: by definition they fit into neither of the other two categories of singularity that may be dealt with in some manner – removable singularities and poles. In practice some[who?] include non-isolated singularities too; those do not have a residue.
