Description: "The biennial meetings at São Carlos have helped create a worldwide community of experts and young researchers working on singularity theory, with a special focus on applications to a wide variety of topics in both pure and applied mathematics. The tenth meeting, celebrating the 60th birthdays of Terence Gaffney and Maria Aparecida Soares Ruas, was a special occasion attracting the best known names in the area. This volume contains contributions by the attendees, including three articles written or co-authored by Gaffney himself, and survey articles on the existence of Milnor fibrations, global classifications and graphs, pairs of foliations on surfaces, and Gaffney's work on equisingularity"--

"This book is a selection of papers submitted for the proceedings of the 10th Workshop on Real and Complex Singularities. They are grouped into three categories: singularity theory (7 papers), singular varieties (8 papers) and applications to dynamical systems, generic geometry, singular foliations etc (10 papers). Among them, four are survey papers: Local Euler Obstruction, Old and New, II, by N. G. Grulha Jr. and J.-P. Brasselet, Global classifications and graphs, by J. Martinez-Alfaro, C. Mendes de Jesus and M. C. Romero-Fuster, Pairs of foliations on surfaces, by F. Tari, Gaffney's work on equisingularity, by C. T. C. Wall"--
