Fungrim entry: 4c6780

Symbol: MeromorphicDerivative —

\frac{d}{d z}\, f\!\left(z\right)

— Complex derivative, allowing poles

The call syntax for this operator is the same as for Derivative.

This operator is equivalent to ComplexDerivative except that whereas ComplexDerivative is undefined at a pole, MeromorphicDerivative gives UnsignedInfinity (

{\tilde \infty}

) at a pole.
