This document discusses power series and the classification of singularities. It defines power series as an infinite series involving terms of the form (x - x0)k. Singular points are points where a function is not analytic, meaning it does not have a convergent Taylor series. Singular points are classified as regular singular points if (x - x0)P(x) and (x - x0)2Q(x) are analytic, or irregular singular points if they are not analytic.
