Description for Singularities of Differentiable Maps, Volume 1: Classification of Critical Points, Caustics and Wave Fronts (Modern Birkhäuser Classics) (Modern Birkhauser Classics)
Paperback. This first of two volumes deals with the stability problem for smooth mappings, critical points of smooth functions, and caustics and wave front singularities, beginning at a basic level that presupposes a limited mathematical background. Series: Modern Birkhauser Classics. Num Pages: 282 pages, 67 black & white illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PBG; PBK; PBMW; PBW. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 155 x 236 x 22. Weight in Grams: 600.
Singularity theory is a far-reaching extension of maxima and minima investigations of differentiable functions, with implications for many different areas of mathematics, engineering (catastrophe theory and the theory of bifurcations), and science. The three parts of this first volume of a two-volume set deal with the stability problem for smooth mappings, critical points of smooth functions, and caustics and wave front singularities. The second volume describes the topological and algebro-geometrical aspects of the theory: monodromy, intersection forms, oscillatory integrals, asymptotics, and mixed Hodge structures of singularities. The first volume has been adapted for the ... Read more
