Singularity Theory Professor Arnold is a prolific and versatile mathematician who has done striking work in differential equations and geometrical aspects of analysis. V. I. Arnold (Author) 9780521285117, Cambridge University Press Paperback / softback, published 17 September 1981 276 pages22.8 x 15.2 x 1.5 cm, 0.43 kg Professor Arnold is a prolific and versatile mathematician who has done striking work in differential equations and geometrical aspects of analysis. In this volume are collected seven of his survey articles from Russian Mathematical Surveys on singularity theory, the area to which he has made most contribution. These surveys contain Arnold's own analysis and synthesis of a decade's work. All those interested in singularity theory will find this an invaluable compilation. Professor C. T. C. Wall has written an introduction outlining the significance and content of the articles. Intoduction C. T. C. Wall 1. Singularities of smooth mappings (Volume 23, 1968) 2.
