Download or read book Singularities In Geometry And Topology - Proceedings Of The Trieste Singularity Summer School And Workshop written by Jean-paul Brasselet and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2007-01-16 with total page 917 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Singularity theory appears in numerous branches of mathematics, as well as in many emerging areas such as robotics, control theory, imaging, and various evolving areas in physics. The purpose of this proceedings volume is to cover recent developments in singularity theory and to introduce young researchers from developing countries to singularities in geometry and topology.The contributions discuss singularities in both complex and real geometry. As such, they provide a natural continuation of the previous school on singularities held at ICTP (1991), which is recognized as having had a major influence in the field.
