     The function

     ${\displaystyle \sin \left(\cot {\frac {1}{z}}\right)}$

     is an example of a function having infinitely many essential singularities with a limit point at ${\displaystyle z=0}$. It is an easy matter to give examples of "elementary" functions whose singularities have a countable number of limit points.

   • 1970 [Macmillan], John W. Dettman, Applied Complex Variables, 1984, Dover, unnumbered page,

     Let ${\displaystyle S'}$ be the set of limit points of a set ${\displaystyle S}$. Then the closure ${\displaystyle {\overline {S}}}$ of ${\displaystyle S}$ is ${\displaystyle S\cup S'}$.

     […]

     If ${\displaystyle z_{0}}$ is a limit point of ${\displaystyle S}$, then every ${\displaystyle \epsilon }$-neighborhood of ${\displaystyle z_{0}}$ must contain infinitely many points of ${\displaystyle S}$.

     As the next example shows, the set of zeros may well have a limit point not belonging to the domain.
