Description: This volume surveys important topics in singularity theory, with a particular focus on computational aspects of the subject. The contributors to this volume include R. O. Buchweitz, Y. A. Drozd, W. Ebeling, H. A. Hamm, Le D. T., I. Luengo, F.-O. Schreyer, E. Shustin, J. H. M. Steenbrink, D. van Straten, B. Teissier and J. Wahl. Together they describe the development of various areas of singularity theory over many years, and a range of open questions are discussed. Research workers in singularity theory, computer algebra or related subjects will find that this book contains a wealth of valuable information.
Notes: "From 18 to 20 October 2004, a conference 'Singularities and computer algebra' was held at the University of Kaiserslautern on the occasion of Gert-Martin Greuel's 60th birthday. ... The papers of this volume concern ten of the invited lectures, supplemented by four articles which are written by participants of the conference ..."--Preface (p. [xi])
