A Weierstrass point is a special type of point on a compact Riemann surface (or algebraic curve) that has particular significance in the study of algebraic geometry and the theory of Riemann surfaces. To understand Weierstrass points, we need to consider a few key concepts: 1. **Compact Riemann Surface/Algebraic Curve**: A compact Riemann surface can be thought of as a one-dimensional complex manifold.
