Description: "The included papers reflect Fields Medalist Rene Thom's original vision of singularities and represent all branches of the subject: equisingularity of sets and mappings, the geometry of singular complex analytic sets, singularities of mappings and their elimination, characteristic classes, applications to differential geometry, differential equations, and bifurcation theory." "The book is suitable for graduate students and researchers interested in singularity theory."--BOOK JACKET.
