In this video, I explain the concepts of #WindingNumber and #MeromorphicFunctions. I begin the video by defining the argument of a complex function, which leads nicely to a definition and explanation of meromorphic functions.

I describe meromorphic functions as lying in the middle of the spectrum of continuity (between frankly discontinuous functions and perfectly continuous functions). I then define and give the intuition of the winding number, both for typical curves and for functions.
