Book Description:
|
The differential geometry of curves and surfaces in Euclidean space has fascinated mathematicians since the time of Newton. Here the authors cast the theory in a new light, that of singularity theory. This new edition includes a chapter on recently developed techniques in the classification of functions of several variables.
