    Any function expressible as the quotient of two (coprime) polynomials (and which thus has poles at a finite, discrete set of points which are the roots of the denominator).

    • Our first problem is that of interpolation in prescribed points to a given function by a rational function whose poles are given.
    • By Theorem 2.3.2., we have that the right-hand side of this equation can be equal to a rational function only if that rational function is equal to zero.
